  $25 to sponsor the Unity March is fine with me.

  I don't think anything needs to be done on the Alternative Gifts until after the conference is done.  I just wanted to make sure people were planning on doing it before I put it in the United Way brochure.

    Great bunch of ideas, Deb on the alternative gifting. Thanks Suzanne
    for the heads up. I certainly would like to do the cards again and to
    help out in other ways,...but  just not in the next two weeks while i
    am getting the housing all together for the conference and preparing 
    for the weekend of Terry Davis, a volunteer investigator for the
    Mychal Bell case) speaking about Jena, LA.


    If we could agree to co-sponsor the Unity March on October 13 (for
    $25) 12 - 3,  I would carry a Books to Prisoners sign in the last mile 
    of the Unity March and we could get our name on the publicity and I
    would mention us at the Appreciation Dinner at the Girls and Boys Club
    in North Champaign where Terry Davis (from Chicago) will be speaking
    briefly about Jena, La. This is a neighborhood where we could use more
    visibility!
