PEPeace Blog

I have been in contact with Christian Parenti and he is willing to do radio interviews. So far I have an interview set up with Scott Harris, Between the Lines, for Monday, Oct 17. I have sent requests to WNPR, Quinnipiac University and I am researching other local stations. Yale Bookstore could not host a book signing for that day but I am in touch with Atticus and should hear back soon. I have designed posters and I am working on a postcard to be sent to those who we do not have an email for. I will come up with ads as we need them. I suggest we put one in Yale Daily News and possibly the Advocate New Haven.

The PEP newsletter is finished and all set to go to PAR.

I have been in contact with Lila Mills the producer of Hidden Battles. We are looking possible screenings in New Haven, Middletown and Hartford for the weekend of November 11. The cost to us would be $200 for the film.

I have designed a stand-up banner for any events we will be holding as well as a lectern banner.

There’s probably more…vocus, research, emails, phone calls…

Last night’s exec meeting went really well. It was decided that from now on I will blog each day that I work to let everyone know what I’m up to. This way, if you have any comments or suggestions you can let me know easily by via this blog or leave a comment.

The annual meeting is all set! We have secured the Thomas Golden Center which is a beautiful venue and today I heard from Christian Parenti and he is a go!! http://www.christianparenti.com Please check out his new book Tropic of Chaos.

I sent in an ad today to the Peace Development Fund in Amherst MA to be placed in their program celebrating 30 years of working for peace and justice. I will also be attending the ceremony and a showing of “Passing the Torch to America’s Youth” (This is something for us to think about for the Gandhi Peace awards….selling space in our program booklet)
