Andrew's family will be in attendance, and have already contributed generously to the fund, so your support would be most welcome.

Prior to that, on Saturday afternoon at 2pm at News From Nowhere, Ms. James will be launching a new book to which she has contributed the Introduction: Jailhouse Lawyers by Mumia Abu Jamahl. This is the latest in an impressively brilliant oeuvre he has produced from death row in Pennsylvannia, where he has been for about thirty years! The book is being launched at the House of Lords on the 30th of June, but for those of you who cannot grace their Lords and Ladyships with your company there, join us at News From Nowhere.

I think the Methodist Church by the fire station did one on Saturday

It's good to see that local people are still raising funds for those still in need in Haiti. Thanks for your comment
