We will be meeting having our first meeting of 2008 on the last Thursday of the month, which happens to fall on the last day of January, the 31st. This will be a good time to start out the new year right and get involved locally in our fight for peace and justice. The meeting is at 7pm at Volume 1 Bookstore at 98 Broad St. in beautiful downtown Hillsdale (next to Salvation Army). Everyone is welcome.

Saturday between noon and 1pm we will be at our usual location in front of the Courthouse reminding everyone that we are still involved in an illegal, immoral and expensive war in Iraq. Join us, and freeze for one hour in solidarity with the misery the Iraqi people experience everyday.

On March 19 2008 we will be marking the fifth year of our involvement in an illegal and immoral war. Every Saturday from noon until 1pm we will be out on Broad St. in front of the Hillsdale Courthouse with our signs of protest against the war with Iraq. Please join us.

We are also currently planning our 2008 Peace Festival. It will be held in Fast Park in Jonesville as it has since 2005. We will post the date in August shortly. Anyone wishing to be in on the planning join us at our January 31 meeting at Volume 1 Bookstore at 7 pm. Volume 1 is at 96 N. Broad St.

We had a good 2007 Peace Festival, we hope to make 2008 a better festival. Pictures will be posted of some of the past festivals soon. Watch for a new photo link.
