[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] Should AWARE hold a "Renewing America's Promise" event for peace? [Events around MLK day -- accepting postings through 12/31]

Great news, Stuart! I say nail the space RIGHT NOW before somebody else does!! Tell CPL it's for AWARE's MLK Teach- In (or make up yr own title), and take the whole 1-6p time. We can release whatever we don't need, or use part for an AWARE film, music performance... whatever. Will you head up the committee and schedule a meeting?

Yay, Jenifer!

On Sunday afternoon 1/18, we could -- Champaign Library's pavilion rooms
are currently free all afternoon 1-6pm.  We could do a 2-4pm event, say.
What would be good to do indoors, that we could organize in a couple of weeks?
I'm happy to book the space once we have a more-or-less specific idea.

Sat 1/17 and Mon 1/19 aren't available -- I think the library is closed on
King
Day and something else has those rooms booked on most of Sat afternoon.

Oh, I hadn't included the web reference in the original note:
   "What does service mean to you?"
        http://www.pic2009.org/page/s/whatisservice

and, to post a planned local event, either of two web pages:
    "Get Involved in Service"
	http://www.pic2009.org/page/s/DS2
	   for Jan 19th events, or
	http://www.pic2009.org/page/s/DS2W
	   for Jan 17th/18th (weekend) events
