DESCRIPTION:Sarah Weintraub,   Fellowship of Reconciliation Bogota office coordinator  
 For the past two and a half years, Sarah Weintraub, a young woman from the 
 San Francisco Bay Area, has been witness to an extraordinary experiment. 
 Despite relentless pressure from armed actors on the right and left, 
 including the massacre of seven peace community members a year ago, the 
 peasant farmers of San Jose de Apartadó in Northern Colombia remain 
 steadfast in their refusal to take part in Columbia’s ongoing civil war. 
 Sarah is a member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation’s Colombia Peace 
 Presence. She has also worked with peace initiatives by youth, women, 
 indigenous people, and others.  Sarah is eager to share her experience of 
 living in Colombia and working alongside these communities. Their 
 nonviolent resistance, courage, perseverance and hope in the midst of war 
 offer a seldom-heard message for us all.  Sarah will be accompanied by John 
 Lindsay Poland, Coordinator of the Fellowship of Reconciliation Task Force 
 on Latin America and the Caribbean. John has visited Colombia numerous 
 times over the last ten years.  7 p.m. Dessert Social — 7:30 p.m. 
 Presentation  Admission is free - a good will offering will be collected to
