2019, there is a Maryland Food Bank Benefit, hosted by The Admirals Cup - Fells
Point, Baltimore, 1647 Thames St., Baltimore 21231. Do we give so we shall
receive, or give because it feels good? Giving has never felt better or
made a more significant impact than this unique opportunity. The Maryland Food
Bank and Harbor Magic Hotels presents “HOLIDAY GIVEBACK.” Experience
the adventures of the Fells Point at one of the two beautiful Harbor Magic
Hotels: The Admiral Fell Inn or the Inn at Henderson’s Wharf. Gracefully
awaken to the aromas and tastes of a fabulous breakfast and set sail on your
day in one of the most amazing places in America. Harbor Magic is donating 10%
of dollars generated from this promotion to benefit the Maryland Food Bank.

Rd., Baltimore 21244. Call (410) 719-0921 or email info@isb.org. Tickets are at www.almaghrib.org. What Do You Lose By Never Knowing Malcolm?
To many of us, he’s a long-gone activist of the past, irrelevant to our
personal lives today. To others, he’s reduced to famous quips and poses,
never really knowing the man behind the X. The transformation of Malcolm X is
exactly the change you seek, and the change this community desperately needs
today. From the eyes of Betty Shabazz, the wife of Malcolm X, she talks of his
family life, his dreams and hopes for the Muslim community. At 39,
Malcolm X was just getting started when they took his life. Hear from Shaykh
Omar Suleimen! Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/160987828162111/.

find something to eat? How would you stay warm? During the December Feed ‘Em
Friday (FEF) we will pack Ziploc bags with a few items that might help make
that struggle just a bit more manageable. Hand out a new pair of socks, some
gloves, a few snacks, and a few toiletries for distribution to the friends who
have no shelter on these chilly winter nights. These “care kits” will be donated

76] – Do you have any
interest in challenging the Trump administration for reneging on the Iran Deal?
If yes, would you be interested in joining a Peace Caravan to the Iranian
embassy in Washington, D.C.? Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at
Comcast dot net.
77] – It is
a violation of U.S. law for us to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only
Congress can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the
war drums for war against Iran and North Korea. The Mueller investigation is
tightening the vise, and could cause Trump to attack those countries in order
to divert attention from Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election. Such a military strike would demand an immediate
and unequivocal response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of
power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a preemptive military strike
against Iran or North Korea takes place, then meet outside the War Memorial, 101 N. Gay St., Baltimore, MD 21202. If the
attack is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM,
local time. If the attack occurs after 2 PM local time, then events
will begin at noon, local time, the following day. Contact Max at
410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.
78] -- If you would like
to get rid of books, videos, DVDs, records, tarps and table cloths, contact Max
at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at comcast.net.
79] -- Can you use any
book shelves? Contact Max at 410-323-1637 or mobuszewski2001 at comcast.net.
80] -- Join an extraordinary global campaign for the
elimination of nuclear weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
