[announce-gpco] Volunteer Coordinators Needed for 2 Upcoming Peace Events

[Brad Klafehn]

Dear Greens - Due to family and work responsibilities in the next 
month or so, I will not be able to help coordinate two upcoming peace 
events like I did last year.  I hope people will step up and help 
make these successes for the Green Party and progressives.

1)  Second Annual Climb America's Mountain for Peace.  This hike up 
Pike's Peak on September 11 is a fundraiser for the Green Party of 
Colorado and the Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Center.  Last year, 10 
of us from Colorado Springs, Denver, and Boulder participated.  It 
was inspirational and was a great time to boot.  PPJPC sponsored a 
spaghetti dinner the night before and participants were housed by 
Colorado Springs activists.

2)  Adopt-a-Silo Action, October 2.  Here is part of an email 
describing it:

"Time to start planning for the Second Annual Adopt-A-Silo!  Mark 
your calendars for October 2nd, 2004.  We are starting early this 
year so that we can get as many Coloradoans (and others) involved as 
possible.  It is Time to reinvigorate the national discussion of 
nuclear weapons, their destructiveness, their cost, and their effect 
on US foreign policy.
    I have sent this email out to all those who participated in last 
year's Adopt-A-Silo [BK Note - We had Silo O-3].  If you or you 
organization are willing to Adopt-A-Silo ... We are asking that each 
group bring as many people with them as possible - 40 to 50 people at 
each silo would be great.  We have a Big Goal this year for the 
number of adopters and other participants. 
    ...we will send you an organizing packet, so that you can get 
people in your area or organization interested and excited to 
participate." This event is co-sponsored by the Greeley Green Party.

For either of these, please email me at bklafehn@mindspring.com, and 
I will give you further contact information.

Thanks!
