[Peace] Re: carolers for peace?

[Danielle Chynoweth]

So far this idea has sprouted the following:

Paul Kotheimer would be happy to be musical support both at rehearsal and
the caroling contest.

Carl and Carol's families are interested. Anyone else?

I am having an application sent to AWARE at the IMC.  Please look for it
on Sunday.

I have contacted Rick Burkhardt to also help with musical support.

I will contact Barbara Dyskant to see if she would could rewrite some
christmas carols.

WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN:

A core organizer (it's easy!) who would:

1. present this idea at Sunday's AWARE meeting.

2. fill out the app (this Sunday) and send.

3. organize one rehearsal next week

4. organize for folks to show up thursday

Other folks who would:

- write anti-war lyrics to your favorite holiday song on a napkin tonight
over dinner.  bring it on Sunday!

thanks,

Danielle
