Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, a frequent traveller to Central America who has written extensively about hunger, U.S. foreign policy in Central America and peace issues, will deliver the conference's keynote address. The sessions will be led by a variety of individuals with a strong interest in Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean, and besides sharing very current information about this part of the world, they will offer ways to become involved in grassroots efforts on behalf of the region's people. The site of the conference will be Grace United Methodist Church at 3700 Cottage Grove in Des Moines.
Registration begins at noon.
After Nelson-Pallmeyer's talk, all participants are invited to a dessert fundraiser for the Catholic Peace Ministry.
