Central Pennsylvania?

 

From 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. on Wednesday, November 28, the Tri-Leagues (Harrisburg, Hershey and Carlisle) will present a panel on immigration in the Willow Room (C) at the Giant Super Store in Camp Hill.  The discussion will focus on economics, civil liberties and community services.   Please help us with PR - take the enclosed flyer to your local church or community meeting place.

 We'd like to have a good turnout for this event.
