[pjw] MEETING: Iraq Affinity Group meets Monday, November 11, 7 PM

[Peace and Justice Works]

Hi again Iraq Affinity Group supporters

I'll send out a brief recap of Tuesday's forum soon; the short of it is it 
overall went very well. Meanwhile, the next meeting of the Peace and 
Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group will be this coming Monday, November 11
at 7 PM at our office at 2807 SE Stark. Fittingly, that is Armistice Day, 
the day we agreed 101 years ago to end all wars. (Meetings are usually on 
the 2nd Monday of each month.)

As usual, if you're unable to attend in person we can try to plug you in by
phone, just let us know if you want to do that. Your participation is
welcome!!!!
