[Peace] AWARE has been talking about doing a singing flash mob. We have decided that Labor Day is a good day to do one.

[Ya'aqov Ziso]

Thanks also for clarifying, Stuart and yes: an early September event would
benefit us with more time for honing the flash-mob's performance. The School
for Designing a Society's organizers and students, their experiences and
ideas, could provide ample guidance and inspiration for our preparations.

Also, given more time for planning and preparing, more participants will be
able to articulate and design the staging aspects of such flash-mob.
