Dear Library Members and Supporters,


Today is an exciting day because we are able to send you more details, including the itinerary, for our biggest event of the year -- ARREST YOURSELF: An All-Day Burma Event for Aung San Suu Kyi and the People of Burma!


The "Arrest Yourself" event is taking place in Chiang Mai this Sunday, 20 June, in celebration of Aung San Suu Kyi's 65th birthday, and in solidarity with her 14 years of house arrest. This is an all-day educational 'seminar-style' event with several presentations from Burmese organizations, guest speakers, short documentaries, discussions, Burmese food, and some surprises. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Chiang Mai University's Uniserv building, located at 239 Nimmanhaemin Road. Please see the attached itinerary for the exact schedule of events and presenters.


We will have several different admission options, which are as follows:


• 160 baht = basic admission for all presentations, including special commemorative gift

• 230 baht = admission and commemorative gift, plus Burmese lunch

• 500 baht = "Best Friend of the Best Friend" admission, which includes admission, lunch, commemorative gift, "Peace in Burma Now" t-shirt, plus a free DVD of your choice from the library's collection


The seating capacity for this event is limited to 100 people, so if you want to guarantee space(s) for you and your friends, please send us an e-mail to "bestfriend.cm@gmail.com" and let us know your name(s) to be added to the Pre-Registration list. We will quickly reply to let you know that space(s) has been reserved for you.


We also want to remind you of the Aung San Suu Kyi birthday event being planned by a coalition of organizations that will take place on Saturday 19 June with the theme "Using Our Liberty To Promote Burma's". The location will be the Chiang Mai University Art Museum on Nimmanhaemin Road, and the event will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is free for all attendees, and will include a political round-table discussion (in Burmese language), several photo exhibitions, and traditional dance performances.


Please let us know if you have any questions about either event, and we look forward to seeing you this weekend!


Sincerely,


Garrett Kostin, Soe Soe, Sai Jing
