Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to extend an  invitation to all of 
you for a wonderful pre-Christmas event this Sunday, December 12th. Schools for 
Chiapas is an organization working in solidarity with the Zapatista indigenous 
communities in Chiapas, Mexico.  We work on several areas such as education, 
indigenous agriculture, and  health. As a means to fundraise, we sell "fairer 
trade" products from  artisans in the Chiapas communities in order to create 
revenue to return  to the  community for supplies and building materials. On 
Sunday we will be  having both an informational and social gathering in order to 
share the  knowledge from our last trips to Chiapas during this Fall as well as  
fundraise for next year. Please review the information below:


 
A Zapatista Holiday Celebration!
 
Join us for a festive afternoon with interesting people, great conversation, 
Chiapas craft sale, music, and outstanding beer tasting.  Meet new friends and 
catch up with folks you’ve known for years.  Hear the latest news from Chiapas.
 
Culture:  Participatory Food * Music * Poetry * Theatre * Dance
Potluck food and drink welcome, but not required.  Participatory cultural 
activities welcome or just sit back and enjoy!  Bring a dish, play an 
instrument, share a dance, sing a song, read a poem, or play your favorite CD.  

 
Shop while you party!  You can support the Mayan craftspeople in the autonomous 
communities of Chiapas by buying a holiday gift.  Beautiful craft items, 
Zapatista coffee, and  indigenous music.
 
Chiapas: News, slide show, and analysis from the School for Chiapas team who 
worked in Chiapas during November 2010.   Optional presentations will be at 3pm 
and 5pm.
 
Drinks:We’ll be brewing up a special holiday corn beer all afternoon and tasting 
previous batches!
Yup, you can see how beer is made and actually help craft a unique beverage for 
2011.
