Swanson will go to the Longfellow Bookstore, just a few yards away, and
do a Book Signing of his recently published work, DAYBREAK:

in learning more about this unique and intriguing country. Diane has
visited Cuba three times in the past 6 years and shares her
impressions, experiences and photos. For the first presentation, Diane
will discuss the Cuban medical and social service system and show “Salud”,
a full length, award winning documentary about Cuban doctors and their
work in third world countries. The second evening will focus on
education and the arts and she will show a short film clip about the Cuba
Literacy Campaign of 1961, a campaign which continues to influence
and inspire third world countries who are struggling to educate their
populations today.
Diane Stradling is a long time resident of Portsmouth and a
board member of Witness for Peace - New England , which is a
politically independent, grass roots organization. She recently
attended a 3-day international conference in recognition of the 50th
anniversary of the Cuban revolution at Queens University in Kingston ,
Ontario . Diane plans to travel to Cuba again in 2010. For more

----------------------------------------------------
The Seacoast Area Peace Calendar is available by e-mail and on
the
Seacoast Peace Response web site. It is revised weekly, usually on
Tuesday nights, and sent to members of the Seacoast Area Peace Activist
Mailing List and the Weekly Peace Calendar Only Mailing List. In
addition to the two lists mentioned, there are several other mailing
lists available to subscribers based on their interests. The following
is a list of mailing lists available. Please let me know if you would
like to be subscribed to any particular list or unsubscribed from any
list.

adjacent parts of Maine and, to a lesser extent, Massachusetts. It
includes the weekly Seacoast Area Peace Calendar plus separate
announcements of peace and some other progressive political events in
this area as well as local newspaper stories about those events. It is
what is referred to as "the list" or "the big list."
------------------------------
Weekly Peace Calendar Only Mailing List (130 members) - This has
just
the weekly Seacoast Area Peace Calendar and is for people who want to
cut down on their e-mail. It is not recommended, as people on this
list miss out on some important information available on the Seacoast
Area Peace Activist Mailing List.
-------------------------------
Seacoast Peace Response Mailing List (38 members) - This list
includes
minutes of SPR meetings as well as other messages related to program
planning and goes to people who regularly attend SPR planning meetings,
as well as to some others from time to time.
Also called "the short list."

medium
to high volume list with outstanding articles about wars of aggression
by the US and US allies in the Middle East and South Asia. Formerly
called the Affinity Group on Iraq War.
-------------------------------
Seacoast 9-11 Questions Group Mailing List (241 members) -
Articles
questioning the official version of the events of 9-11-01 and pointing
to the probability of high level Bush administration involvement in
