FUSsa-talk Mailing List: Social Action Comm. plans for 9/16 - please vote

[Carol Koepp (carolkoepp]

Dear FUS Social Action folks,

Last night the executive planning committee of our Social Action Committee 
discussed plans for September.  We had to get specific because we have an Aug. 
10th deadline for the newsletter; plans have to be in place.  We discussed 
plans for a Forum, Social Justice collection and lunch on 9/16.  The theme is 
"Peace" and the date is important because it is close to the U.N. Day of Peace. 
 Below are the notes from the mtg. so you can see what we are considering.  
Please give us feedback regarding the speakers at the forum, the plans for the 
lunch and the receipient of the collection.  
Thanks__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"We began by talking to Madeline (Simon) about Sept 16. She will work on the 
newsletter submission. We talked about how we could get people to take action 
that day at the table: postcards and letters, actions including the Declaration 
of Peace pledge. We need to get people working on talking to their congress 
people THIS week because they are voting on war funding soon. Madeline will 
come up with stuff for that day.

We talked about who we should have speak at the forum and who we should give 
the SA collection to. We talked about Military Families Speak Out.

There is a meeting with Teresa West and the Membership committee on July 25 at 
Sabastien Joe's. Marcia will be in touch with Teresa and see about the lunch. 
We will have the Peace Foundation get the collection but give the luncheon 
proceeds to The Military Families group."
