Seattle Burma Meeting Tuesday 4/7, NEW LOCATION AND TIME

The next meeting of the Seattle Burma Roundtable is Tuesday April 7 from
7-8:45pm at the offices of the Seattle Red Cross, 1900 25th Ave S, in rm
206 (just to the right inside the entrance). NOTE: THIS IS A DIFFERENT
LOCATION AND TIME.

We are looking at the possibility, after 15 years of meeting in the North
End, of alternating meetings in the North and South Ends, especially since
the hundreds of new Burmese arrivals live down South. We thank the Red
Cross for providing this space to us for free. See

for directions.

We'll be considering the needs of the new refugees, making plans for the
2nd annual Burmese Refugee Picnic (details below), discussing Seattle
University's Burma Week in May (also see below), mulling over news of the
Obama administration' s review of its Burma policy, and discussing
Chevron's partnership with the Burmese military junta, which will be
highlighted at that company's upcoming shareholder meeting.

We are particularly interested in finding a volunteer or volunteers who
can help with a project to connect some of the older refugee men with work
opportunities on family farms in Western Washington. If you would like to
help, please email burma@u.washington. edu or call 206-784-6873.
