Reach out to those who have the Courage to Resist: December Letter writing party

Does a quiet December loom with no prospect of hanging out with your family due to the rising costs of travel?  Are you looking for ways to spread the warmth this season?
 
Join us for a letter writing bash!  We will be gathering to write letters to Conscientious Objectors who are far from home and family this holiday season.  Profiles of conscientious objectors will be available for you to review.  Other opportunities to support resisters will also be presented, such as petitions and donation envelopes.

Your letters to them will boost morale and relieve some of the isolation and stress of their situation.  Letters are a personalized and tangible form of support for those who refuse fire their weapons in Iraq or follow other illegal orders.

Child care, unfortunately, is not available but there is a play area just for children in R&B.  If your child is interested, we would love to send artwork to our resisters!

Greeting Card Drive for the time-impaired!
There is also an option to participate in a greeting card drive – if you are unable to join us during this very busy time but still hold these resisters in your hearts, you can send greeting cards to these resisters.  This month we plan to send "Happy Holidays" and "Happy New Year!" cards to our prisoners of conscience.  Simply let anna know in your RSVP.

Call for material support in a material world:

We also welcome your gifts of handmade cards, postage, or other supplies.  Mostly, though, we want you to join us!  If you can't join this time, keep an eye out for future notices.

 
When:  Sunday, 14 December 2008 1:00-3:00 pm
