[Peace-discuss] RE: Chicago Peace Action

[Matt Reichel]

I really can't say more than what meets the eye here, as I've been away from 
Chicago since September.

Plus I shouldn't say too much, as I am in the midst of what is commonly 
called "Burn out recovery mode" = )

Sara Mathers took over for the guy who took over my position when I left. 
Generally, she does a lot of the "community-oriented" work, such as keeping 
in contact with local groups throughout the state and trying to find common 
needs where we can help each other out. So this e-mail seems to fit her job 
description neatly. They would like help with downstate lobbying on the war 
and nukes, and in return they want to see if they can help publicize or 
organize any activities that you have planned.


Bonne Annee,
Matt
