[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] May 1 / Funk the War Update - please respond

[Lori A. Serb]

Just to clarify the time: 5PM on the quad. Should go for an hour maybe  
until 6:30--each group will have a speaker and there will also be open  
mic time. Pete is revising the notice and should send the corrected  
information out tonight. I just talked to hime on the phone to  
confirm. I have the sound system covered.
