[Peace] peace demonstration tomorrow, Saturday, December 1, 2018; 2pm-4pm, downtown Champaign, Main and Neil streets

[James M]

Unfortunately I will be unable to attend this demonstration, I have some
out-of-town plans that came up. I wish you all the best, and that hopefully
the cold, rain, and wind isn't too bad. 🕊
