The World Community Center, 438 N. Skinker, will celebrate the burning of its mortgage on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, with a mini-fair from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Plans include entertainment in the form of music, folk dancing, an art show, international food, and a program at 4:30 involving the mortgage burning with a huge bonfire.
The announced program will consist of the following presentations: “History and Prehistory of the World Community Center,” by Jean Robert Leguey-Feilleux and Park J. White, M.D. “Why are We Here?” by Eldora Spiegelberg; and “Where Are We Going?”‘ by William Stone. Along with the mortgage there will be a symbolic “destruction of the foes of peace and justice — hunger, racism, war, sexism.” Participants are invited to bring their own symbols.
The World Community Center is the joint creation of seven organizations and is directed by Yvonne Logan.
The organizations are the American Friends Service Committee, Clergy and Laity Concerned, Institute for Peace and Justice, Character Research Association (Peace Research Laboratory), Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, United Nations Association, and the World Federalists Association.
