LASC dental clinic celebration and fundraiser
May 23, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
35th anniversary celebration and fundraiser for the LASC/WNY Peace Center
free dental clinic serving a Maya community in Chiapas, Mexico.
Monday May 23, 7-9pm, Hallwalls at Babeville, 341 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY
Please join us for an evening of live music by La Marimba, good company and powerful art as we celebrate and secure the continued existence of a free dental clinic in Chiapas, Mexico. For 35 years Buffalo dentist Tom Potts has been spending two or more months of each year providing free services. As Tom retired from active dentistry, we supported a young dentist there in completing his education. We now need to be able to help support him to provide these free services on a continuing basis. At the same time, the essential new equipment upgrade that we have made needs to be paid for.
A freewill contribution of $20 is requested (students and limited incomes excepted).
The event coincides with an exhibit in the Hallwalls gallery by Savadoran/Canadian artist
Osvaldo Ramirez Castillo who creates visual myth to express resistance.
