SPEAKER
Wanda Damberg will tell us about her experiences smuggling desperately need medical supplies into Santo Tomas Internment Camp, and then later into Los Baños Internment Camp. Wanda was a young adult when she was taken to Santo Tomas, where she volunteered to help in the camp hospital. Because of her friendship with the Dominican fathers, she was recruited to become the critical inside person to collect the supplies buried under the fence between the father’s garden and the Main Building and take them to the hospital, while avoiding the guards. She is the author of a book titled, Courage and Deliverance.
LOCATION
The luncheon will be at the Long Beach Petroleum Club at 3636 Linden Avenue, Long Beach, near the 405 Freeway and Long Beach Blvd. See attached map. Parking is free. INFORMATION Wanda will sign copies of her book for those who wish to have one. Also, for those interested, the BACEPOW challenge coin will be available. Those who wish to join BACEPOW can do so for $10 for the remainder of 2011 and take advantage of the member rate of $23 for the luncheon.
