Some of the artwork featured in the auction is on display at Java Cat Coffee4221 Lien Road, Madison, through July 20, and there will be an artists Meet-and-Greet at Java Cat from 4-6:30 pm on Thursday, July 17.Don’t miss this chance to help the Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) continue to provide desperately needed humanitarian assistance to a population that has now survived 21 months of genocide.

One other thing you can do that will really help: Please share this information with friends and colleagues who might also like to express their solidarity with the families of Palestine by participating in this community effort to fund MECA’s crucial work. Besides this email, there is also a Facebook event that you can share.

As always, we thank you for your support.
