| The Cony High School Civil Rights Team is holding a fundraiser breakfast Sunday, 15 November, at the 99 Restaurant at 281 Civic Center Drive in Augusta. The breakfast begins at 7:30 and runs until 9:00, with proceeds going to help defray costs of the Team's Diversity Day presentations.
The Cony Civil Rights Team holds its Diversity Day as a way to expose their fellow students and families to the various cultures in the Augusta community. The face of Maine is changing, and past Diversity Day events have featured presentations pf traditional Pakistani dance techniques and on what it's like growing up as a Franco-American.
The Team also addresses gay rights issues, which will explain why the Family Policy Council (formerly the Christian Civic League of Maine) is planning to protest the fundraiser.
So if you're in the Augusta area and want to support the Cony Civil Rights Team while also providing a counter to those haters like Mike Hein and Michael Heath, then stop by the 99 Restaurant, won't you? Wouldn't it be nice if there were so many that turned out in support that the line for breakfast was actually going on the door? |
