[Peace-discuss] Discussion regarding holding a discussion after "Taxi" at the Boardman

Well the 19th is our vigil from 5 to 6:15, so do you think we can get more
people to have dinner out and come on to the film at 7:30 and stay afterward
at 9:16? Whatever people think would get out the most people. However, that
would be the last night, which kind of defeats one purpose of getting people
interested in going. I proposed Saturday night at 9:16 - discussion because
it is the second night it will be on and it is the one night (older) people
are willing to stay out a little later than otherwise. This coming week is
Spring Break meaning that theatres will be a little down in attendance and
if we can add to the Boardman's audience, I think it would initiate a good
relationship with them for the future. Barbara
