> Please join with thousands of people across the country in a  
> memorial vigil or other event tomorrow to commemorate those lost  
> and call for peace in Iraq.  A calendar of "Not One More Death, Not  
> One More Dollar" memorial events is on our web site at www.afsc.org/ 
> 3000 to help you find or list an event near you.
>
> Most events will be held tomorrow, New Years Day, but some will be  
> held on other days due to local preference.  See the web site at  
> www.afsc.org/3000 to check the time of the event near you or to  
> list an event that you have organized.

> If you have a moment to print out resources before you head to your

> atwww.afsc.org/3000/resources.htm.
>
> Check the “Not One More Death, Not One More Dollar” web site again  
> in the next few days to see reports from events around the country.
