[Peace] ** No AWARE meeting today 4/11 ** -- come to GSLIS for Kathy Kelly / Paul Street // "A People Speak" instead!

[Stuart Levy]

Note, AWAREists: we will *not* hold AWARE's regular weekly meeting
this afternoon, April 11th -- most of us will be attending the events at
GSLIS instead, and no one will be there to unlock the IMC.

Back next week.  Meanwhile, hope you can join us on campus this afternoon!
