PIIN IMMIGRATION POLICY SUMMIT SCHEDULED FOR M.L.K. HOLIDAY The Pittsburgh Interfaith Impact Network (PIIN) will hold a Regional Summit on Immigration Law in the Duquesne Room of the Duquesne University Union 8:30 to noon Monday, January 17, the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. [The Highland Park connection: The program will feature Highland Park's own Maritza Mosquera's "Immigrant Body: in translation project" and will highlight Education Innovation's Inc. founder and CEO Salvador Wilcox's immigration from El Salvador at age 9 from El Salvador in 1982.] We believe it is appropriate to observe the birthday of our nations most honored civil rights leader by focusing attention on the civil rights of immigrants, refugees, and international students in these trying times, said Wallace Watson president-elect of PIIN. The meeting will feature discussion of problems faced by members of those groups in the Pittsburgh region, particularly in the aftermath of 9/11; presentations on federal legislation addressing immigration policy in the just-ended session of Congress; and consideration of future policy recommendations. The states two U.S. Senators and members of the House of Representatives from the region have been invited to the event. Speakers will include immigrants, refugees, and international students as well as individuals providing services to those groups, including immigration attorneys. The event is open to the public. A $5 donation will be requested. Among the planners for the event are representatives from many PIIN congregations; the Duquesne University Office of International Programs; the Pittsburgh Public Schools Office of Multi-cultural Education; the Jewish Family and Childrens Service; the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh; the Carlow University Interfaith Center; Stand for Children: ESL teachers in several institutions; the Service Employers International Union and the Carpenters Union; the Latin American Cultural Union; the Latino Catholic Community; the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service; and the American Friends Service Committee. PIIN is an interracial, urban-suburban association of 32 congregations and other faith-based organizations representing many religious traditions (including Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Unitarian, and Quaker) and working for systemic social, economic, and political changes in the interest of equity and justice. PIINs work on immigration policy is being supported by its national affiliate, the Gamalial Foundation of Chicago. Gamaliels coast-to-coast faith-based campaign, Civil Rights for Immigrants, calls for granting work permits and a path to citizenship for immigrants, both documented and undocumented, who are already working in the U.S.; expanded family and worker visas; integration of immigrants fully into U.S. society; and more effective and consistent enforcement of border controls. For reservations and further information: Scott Pappert: 412-901-6677, epidwsp(a)yahoo.com, or Ann Sitron, 412-244-0951, peter.adams(a)att.net Note: Reduced-price parking permits ($6.60) in the campus garage must be confirmed before January 12.

[Highland Park] Taj Mahal
by Jessica King 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Just wanted to mention that I had lunch today at Taj Mahal (formerly Sitar) on Bryant Street and the buffet was EXCELLENT! We were the only ones there while we ate, so I thought it would be worth encouraging neighbors to try it out if you haven't yet! Jessica Jessica King, Executive Director Union Project 801 N.

Union Project Update - www.unionproject.org - No More Christmas Trees! Union Project staff and volunteers spent Saturday afternoon mulching Christmas trees.

January Stained Glass Classes Continue to fill Stained glass classes for January are starting to fill up. Only 1 space remains in session 5a and 6 spaces in session 5b.

[Highland Park] Cleaning person; dog sitter
by Avram1＠aol.com 11 Jan '05

11 Jan '05

We are looking for a person to do housecleaning every 3 weeks. Also, someone who could house/dog sit from time to time--3 dogs, a Yorkie, Cairn and mutt. Letting them out in the yard would be fine for a weekend--no walking required. Any recommendations? Thanks very much. Avram Machtiger, 412-361-7765.

RE: [Highland Park] Fwd: Booms in the new year
by Brackney, Rashall 11 Jan '05

FYI: Our Arson Investigator (who lives in Highland Park) heard the booms, as he was walking his dog Sunday. He reported that he believed the booms to be shotgun blasts coming from the Lincoln Ave area, but will investigate today. The Bomb technician (who lives in Stanton Heights) also reported he would scour the woods to determine if there is any evidence of explosives. I will continue to keep everyone updates as I receive additional information. In the meantime, keep calling if you hear any suspicious sounds.
