Taking Orders for Olive Oil and T-Shirts!

Posted on by

The latest shipment of Holy Land Palestinian olive oil is here! Besides the usual 500 ml bottles, we also have new 750 ml bottles available. Prices are

  • 500 ml: $15 each, box of six $84
  • 750 ml: $20 each, box of six $112

If you would like to purchase some oil, contact Veena at veena.brekke@gmail.co or phone 608-332-8745. She may be able to arrange delivery for larger orders in the Madison area.

Note: We have just a few bottles of last year’s shipment left, at a discounted price of $12 per 500 ml bottle. If interested in those, let Veena know.

MRSCP plans to order a batch of these “We Will Not Be Silent” English/Arabic T-shirts that some of us have been wearing and people have asked about.

For more info and available sizes see WE WILL NOT BE SILENT. We are planning to order black, short-sleeved men’s/unisex sizes M, L, XL and 2XL. If you want something else, let us know. The women’s sizes seem to run very small. The shirts are 100% cotton.

For ordering a shirt, reply to rafahsistercity at yahoo.com by Sunday, March 12. Shirts will be $16 for all sizes (except $18 for 2XL), payment on pick up.

Spooky Luci Lights & Olive Oil

Posted on by

Dear Members and Friends of MRSCP,

Madison-Rafah Sister City Project recently partnered with the Rebuilding Alliance to send solar-powered rechargeable bright white “Luci Lights” to children in Rafah. We have already raised enough funds to send a shipment of 40 lights to one classroom, and are only $90 away from being able to send a second 40-light shipment! In order to raise the additional funds, we are offering a limited number of “Spooky Luci” lights, a Halloween version of the Luci Lights, for the price of $15 for one, and $10 for any additional lights. There are three patterns, shown above, with four colors that can be fixed or rotated.

If you would like to purchase one or more Spooky Luci lights, please send an e-mail ASAP to dwallbaum at gmail.com. (Sorry, we no longer have any regular white Luci Lights for purchase.)

You can read more about the Luci Light project here.

If you would like to donate to the Luci Lights for Rafah project, but do not wish to buy a Spooky Luci light, please send a check to:

    MRSCP
    P.O. Box 5214
    Madison, WI 53705
    Memo: “Luci Light Project”

Also, in celebration of the harvest season here and in Palestine, MRSCP is offering discounts on Holy Land Extra-virgin Olive Oil through November 16. A case of six 500 ml bottles, normally $90, is just $80, and we will deliver in the Madison area. If interested, please e-mail veena.brekke at gmail.com to make arrangements. Get your holiday shopping done early, help Palestinian olive growers earn a living, and help support MRSCP!
