[Peace] AWARE Minutes July30

[David Harley]

As Carl was out of town the news section was lead by Mort.  The principle 
topic was the situation in Lebanon.  There was a report of a 24 hour cease 
fire which has proven to be partially accurate.  A recent times interview 
of Hassan Nasrallah and an article in The Nation by Jonathan Schell were 
discussed as back ground for understanding the situation in Lebanon.

Three members of a University of Illinois social work class were in 
attendance this week.  Three AWARE members had given a presentation for 
their class and had invited them to attend a meeting.  They seemed 
favorable impressed by both the meeting and the presentation.

Plans for a pot luck dinner were discussed, tentatively it will be at the 
Kruse's on Labor Day.

Plans were discussed for CU Days (Aug. 12) and the Sweet Corn Festival 
(Aug. 26).  We will Table at both events, but will not table at Farmer's 
Market on those days.

There was nothing to report for those working to develop student groups.

There was no progress to report on the billboard project.  The company now
