The Grinnell Singers received a grant from the “Meet the
Composers” foundation for this commission, in a consortium of
professional choirs that included the Kansas City Chorale, the Phoenix Bach Choir, and the Seattle Pro Musica.  The Singers completed a concert tour of Romania, Bulgaria, and Istanbul in March of 2006.

Human rights activist Peter Lippman will speak on Wednesday April 14 at 7 pm about the story of Srebrenica and the survivors' struggle for survival, recovery, and dignity.

Towards the end of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, over eight thousand
Muslim men and boys were rounded up and
massacred in Srebrenica.  The atrocity left thousands of women without a home, struggling to support families and recover from the trauma.  Some of these women founded Bosfam, a self-help organization and crafts cooperative, where they create and market clothing and handicrafts, including the traditional “kilim” carpet.  
Bosfam is weaving a Srebrenica Memorial Quilt to commemorate the 1995 massacre, made up of small kilim panels stitched together, each bearing the name of a lost loved-one.  

The quilt will hang in UUC’s chapel for one week, from April 11 to 18,
