| Dear Friends of Anawim, The Anawim Center is a place that seeks to honor the Native American Indian elders, to provide a safe haven for the Native American Indian children, to work for justice for all Indians, to seek health and wholeness, and a place for the Native American Indians to pray and explore their spirituality. Anawim provides a place for the Native American Indians in the Chicago area to meet regarding their concerns and discuss matters important to the Indian community. The center is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) operated under the auspices of the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. As part of the 25th anniversary of its founding, the center plans to celebrate with a Native American celebration, commonly referred to as a Powwow. It is a way of meeting together to renew old friendships and establish new ones. It provides for a way the Indian youth learn and practice some of their honored traditions. It is a time when non-Indians can experience some of the traditions, music and dance, arts and crafts of the Native American Indian people. It is an event that supports the ongoing efforts of the Anawim Center to continue its service to the Native American Indian community in the Chicago Metropolitan area. The setup and establishment of a Powwow does require funding. I am writing to inquire whether you would consider a donation to the Anawim Center. This donation would assist us in our mission to provide part of the funds needed to defray the cost of conducting this social and cultural event. Donations "in kind" are welcome. Please feel free to call me with any questions. Sincerely, Sr. Patricia Mulkey, OSF Executive Director |
