[Peace-discuss] Fw: Please help with a Global Vigil for Peace

Wed Mar 12 17:12:00 CST 2003

I second this (or third it, I guess, counting Jay).

Can someone volunteer to:

Become the coordinator by entering this event into moveon.org's registry at:

http://www.moveon.org/vigil/newmeeting.html

The courthouse address is 201 S. Vine

I'd do this, but I've already got my hands full =8-)

BTW, There's already another small vigil registered already for Urbana at
Carle Park (but the exact location is a bit ambiguous). I quote from the
moveon.org site:

"The event will be a simple, 10 minute candlelight vigil. I will try to
arrange some non-sectarian spiritual music."

The sooner we add ours in, the better chance we have of attracting kindred
souls =8-)

If we can go ahead with this, I could also throw it into Friday's flyer.
