Vets for Peace Meeting, Tues. Dec 12, 7 pm Title Wave Books

Vets,

 

Our next Vets for Peace meeting is Tues. Dec 12, 7 pm at Title Wave Books on N. Lights Blvd (in the same mall as REI). Reminder: we were all asked to find a new vet to invite to our meeting so we can build our chapter. Last call on nominations for the Alaskan we can name our chapter after (Cheryl—we hope you can come with your nomination). Right now, Ernest Gruening is the top contender but we are still open.

 

There will be music making on Monday night, Dec. 11 at Café Felix on Benson Blvd (next to Metro Books). The evening is hosted by the Whirrled Peas and the guest artists are: Wings to Fly (Shonti Elder, Karl Wilhelmi, and Elsa Aegerter on fiddle, guitar and flute). It should be a fun evening of positive music. So come out and sing your blues about the war-weary world away.

 

OPPORTUNITY TO HELP VETS:

VFP is participating in a national drive (a joint project of Working Assets, CODEPINK, Veterans for Peace, Gold Star Families for Peace, and Iraq Veterans Against the War) to get phone cards to vets in VA hospitals across the country on Monday, Dec 18. I have signed up to participate. I hope you can join me. Here is the link: http://www.workingassets.com/webgraphics/WALD/cardsforvets.html

 

The latest email I got from VFP had this tag—I like it!
