The Puerto Rican Bar Association is among the groups promoting and sponsoring "Peace in the Preserves," billed as a family-friendly event to promote peace and awareness -- the need for which was made apparent by the ugly incident that occurred at Caldwell Woods, on the Northwest Side, a few weeks ago. You've seen the video.
Hosting the event, set for this Friday, August 3, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the Caldwell Woods Pavilion, 6200 W. Devon, is the Northwest Side Coalition Against Racism & Hate. The Jesse White Tumblers will perform and the linked Coalition Facebook page says that music and other family activities (including face painting) will be provided. Attendees are asked to bring picnic dinners.
No fee will be charged for attendance -- but donations will be solicited for a GoFundMe sponsored by the Puerto Rican Agenda of Chicago for Hurricane Maria relief efforts.
For more information, or for last-minute sponsorship opportunities, email Claudia F. Badillo, the acting PRBA president, at Prba@prbalawil.com.
