[Peace] David Cobb Lecture, June 2 at 8PM in the Union

[Walling, Jennifer]

Peace list - I'd like to invite you all to this event.  Cobb is a tremendous
speaker who shares the goals of the Peace movement.  I'm sure you'll enjoy
his talk and the speeches of the other candidates (especially AWARE member
Ken Urban!).
In addition, I'd like to invite anyone who has any progressive literature,
petitions, etc. that they'd like to share to bring them to the event.  We'll
leave some table space for it.  Hope to see you there. - Jen Walling
