Hello,<br> <br> I am forwarding you the e-flyer for our series of events on June 21, as part of Refugee Week. There is also some plain text info, as some email accounts will not display images. If you could forward the email below to your contacts in Sheffield and around the UK - and ask them to forward it to their contacts, that would be really helpful. As we don't have a publicity budget, email networks are the best way to spread the word! Hope to see you at one of the shows.<br> <br> With thanks,<br> <br> Christine Bacon<br> Director <br> Actors for Refugees<br> <br> ---<br> <br> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";" lang="EN-GB">FREE performances of Asylum Monologues in 12 </span></b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"
