OPEN LETTER FROM HOUSE OF PALESTINE

This letter is to update you on the activities of the House of Palestine for 2008.

We are pleased to inform you that the House of Palestine is one of the permanent members of the House of Pacific Relations (HPR), founded in 1935, which comprise 32 permanent houses with 21 houses having cottages and 11 without. Its purpose is to promote cooperation and understanding amongst member nations. You can check HPR website at www.hofshi.net/sdhpr

The House of Palestine is a non-political, non-religious and non-profit organization which promotes the culture, tradition, food and awareness of the Palestinian people to all members of the House of Pacific Relations. Also the House of Palestine has acquired the status of a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization which allows donations by members and other donors to be tax deductible. Donations and funds raised through activities will help promote Palestinian culture and serve in the building of a Palestinian Cottage which is our ultimate purpose.

Our annual activities in Balboa Park are the Ethnic Food Fair on May 25, the Lawn Program on August 17 and the December Nights on December 5 and 6, 2008, when the House of Palestine can sell its traditional food like falafel, humos and mujaddara.

Throughout the year we also have open houses in the Hall of Nations where traditional clothing, artifacts and pictures made in Palestine are on exhibit.

The House of Palestine is striving hard to form a Dabkeh Group and we solicit our members to support this activity by either teaching or participating in Dabkeh dancing. This will help enormously our annual Lawn Program.

Finally, The House of Palestine need the help of its members in participating in all its activities at Balboa Park, in financial donations as well as extending ideas and help in getting new people join our organization.
