[Peace] Peace Bazaar Dec 4th - you're invited

[Joan Nelshoppen]

Please forward:

You are invited to the 34th annual Peace Bazaar!

The 34th annual Peace Bazaar will be held Saturday, December 4th at
Community United Church of Christ (6th and Daniel) from 9 to 3.  The Peace
Bazaar is an annual community event where we sell   gifts (new and
recycled), works of art, toys, books, plants, UNICEF cards and calendars,
fresh-baked goods and much more.  Funds raised go to groups promoting peace
and social justice.  This year we will also have several alternative vendors
joining us.

Want to help?  We are looking for donations of items to sell.  Do you have
things that you don't  want or need anymore but that are too good to be
thrown away?  Would those items make a good gift or be something that
someone else could use?  Consider recycling. (We will not accept donations
of used clothing, computer equipment, broken items or violent toys.)
Donation drop-off site is 412 W Oregon in Urbana.  Please contact Joan
Nelshoppen at 369-2853 or jnelshoppen at insightbb.com if you have questions
about donation suitability or if you need items picked up.  Please call
first before donating furniture or other large items.

We're looking for volunteers.  Two hours of your time can make a big
difference for peace.
If you are an artist or have talents you'd like to share (are you a baker?!)
we'd love to have you join us as well.

If you are willing to post a flyer about the Peace Bazaar, one is attached.

Please come shopping on Dec. 4th!  Treasures are waiting to be found and
your contributions do matter.  Last year we were able to distribute $3720 to
eight peace and social justice organizations ($465 each).  Help us raise
even more this year!

This year's local recipients include Community Day Care, El Centro por Los
Trabajodores, Frances Nelson Health Care Center, St. Jude Catholic Worker
House, and the Victim Offender Reconciliation Project.  National and
international recipients include African Great Lakes Initiative, Calavera
Project (El Salvador) of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Champaign, Christian
Peacemaker Teams, Oxfam America (specifically for Sudan and Chad), and
Project Lakota (Pine Ridge Reservation, S. Dakota).

The 34th annual Peace Bazaar is co-sponsored by the Urbana-Champaing Friends
Meeting, Community United Church of Christ, First Mennonite Church Peace
Institute, and McKinley Presbyterian Student Foundation.

Be a part of this great event!  For more information about the 34th annual
Peace Bazaar, please contact Joan Nelshoppen at 369-2853 or
