[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] Traveling peace exhibits, Counter Recruitment and more

[Barbara kessel]

The billboard across from AMBUCs park is the front page of the Cost of War
exhibit. It is coming down later this week and the vinyl content of the
board, made up by American Friends Service Committee is yours/ours to keep.
The billboard is in three panels that say, "One Day of  the iraq War" "=
$720 million" "How would you spend it?" It could be used again for a ground
display. If anyone has an interest, just contact Barbara Kessel.       There
are many other good ideas here....just wanted you to know that this is
available and not spoken for yet.
