[Peace-discuss] Flyering for MLK Day events???

Mon Jan 9 22:59:47 CST 2006

Sorry I missed the meeting-

Are we doing this this year?  Flyering, I mean?  Do we
still have the flyer with the quotes and such we used
before?  I'd be free for some but not all of these ...

Sorry I missed the meeting-
Ricky
