NNOC Fall Meeting and Conference
October 19-21, 2018, Minneapolis, MN
|
On October 19-21 the Minnesota Cuba Committee will for the first time host the annual meeting of the National Network on Cuba, our parent organization. The three-day conference will be held at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. Guests will include Miguel Fraga, the first secretary of the Cuban embassy in Washington who will also stay in the Twin Cities for two days after the conference for meetings with local leaders and activists. We also hope to be joined by representatives from the Institute for Friendship with the Peoples from Havana. On Friday evening, October 19, there will be a welcoming reception, and during the day on Saturday, there will be a series of panels on a variety of subjects related to Cuba and U.S.-Cuban relations. Saturday evening will be a rally and cultural event and Sunday morning will be the business meeting of the NNOC.
We are hoping for a broad participation of individuals and organizations from Minnesota and in order to make this happen we need people to help us with a range of tasks. Please let us know if you can help. Contact Greg Klave at gregklave@msn.com or 763-228-2899.
