• Bobbie is also making copies of the David Suzuki letter (from Ceasefire.ca) to distribute at our Kootenay Co-op "Stars For Peace" table on Saturday during Nelson Streetfest. Thanks Bobbie.
• The Light For Peace Coalition is on hold for the summer. We will report when they begin meeting again.
• Trish and Grant will create a information handout regarding the Missile Defense System that the Bush administration is proposing that Canada participate in. (No thanks Mr. Bush)
• A reminder to all that August 17th, 2003, at 2PM, at Mill St is the place to be! Kootenay For member Ernest has offered his digs for a potluck and gathering. See the notice on our home page for details

Update:
Our presence at Streetfest netted an additional 175 letters to Chretien. Thanks to all members who donated time at the table. What a great success this event was for us.
Watch for our table on Saturdays in front of the Kootenay Co-op, if you haven't signed a letter yet, or stop by and say Hi. Tell your friends too!
