[Peace] "end the war" yard signs available - free delivery

[Joy]

Good to hear from you, Karen and thank you for your kind words.  I do need 
to clarify one point.  I recieved a message from another person who shared 
that he did not want to give up personal "peace" items that he had gleened 
from attending various festivals and workshops.  I would never want you to 
part with a treasured rememberance from an event.  I am talking about items 
that we personally agreed to distribute, flyiers we promised to pass to 
friends and family members etc. that we are running just a little behind 
schedule on.  I know I have "peace" related items that are left over from 
previous events I have hosted that are not serving any purpose in storage 
boxes.  I also recieved a message suggesting that we could include items at 
the AWARE table at Urbana Farmers Market.

I am curious, considering the number of  "peace & social justice" groups in 
this community, if folks would like to gather purhaps on a quarterly basis 
to network and White Elephant swap.

I appreciate everyone's comments,

In Peace,
Joy
