[Peace] News Flash: Bush in Chicago- Where's Wolfie?

Sun Jan 5 09:13:36 CST 2003

Greetings all
			Below is all I found about reception for Resident
Bush and nothing yet about Wolfowitz's visit the
following week. I'm still considering going if someone
is willing to drive .. . 
 (I'm having minor surgery next Thur and will be even
more off my feet than has been the case and would like
to participate in this event if possible)

I've clipped a few other items from the AFSC Chicago
Peace calendar that are of interest, though there's
quite a bit more there, i.e. Labor against War forum
and CO counseling.
