<div dir="ltr">I am sending this out to folks who may be
interested in several public talks in Urbana this weekend by
Kathy Bergen who will be visiting Barbara and me this weekend. I
am attaching her bio and a flier with her schedule. I had hoped
to arrange for her to speak on campus, but couldn't get it done.
Both talks will be at First Mennonite Church at Springfield and
Lincoln.

<div>Kathy is one of our oldest friends. We knew her before she
was transformed by her first visit to Jerusalem in 1982. She
has lived in Palestine since then except for several periods
of time when she was working for international NGOs on
Palestinian issues based in Geneva, Switzerland and in
Philadelphia. Two years ago she retired and returned to
Canada, but she is unflagging in continuing her work to inform
people about the situation in Palestine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would be pleased if you could attend her two public
talks and even more pleased if you could distribute this to
any email list you might have for people who are or should be
interested in justice for Palestinians. Please pass this on to
friends, etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kathy will be in town through Tuesday. If you or someone
you know would like to meet her for coffee/tea and additional
conversation, that would be possible on Monday or Tuesday.</div>

<div>If you have any questions, just contact me.</div>
