No Smoking Please
Tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death. More than five million people die from the effects of tobacco every year — more than from HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. It is the only legal consumer product that kills when used exactly as the manufacturer intends. Up to half of all smokers will die from a tobacco-related disease. Second-hand smoke harms everyone who is exposed to it.
Our monthly live performance continues in May. We’re taking a break in April and returning in May. But we’ll be back with even more axé, lots of new songs, and some powerful rhythms! You’re gunna love it!
Don’t miss it!
And don’t forget to try some of Chef Orlando’s cooking.
Date: Sunday 31st, May, 2009
Time: 7.30pm-9pm
