May 13th Wednesday Dinner: for Laura Baden’s Tanzanian

friends. As many of you know, I spent my January in Tanzania for a college class. Five other students and I became close friends with Aksa and Daima. We are now fundraising in order to bring Aksa and Daima here to MN for 2 weeks in July. They have never left Tanzania and this may be the only chance they have to visit the USA.

All proceeds from the Wednesday night dinner will go towards bringing Aksa and Daima here. Donations can be made to Laura Baden (write Africa on memo line) and can be dropped off at the office up until June 15th.
