AWARE Minutes 12/28/03 Mort facilitated. Al took the minutes. 1. News of the Week. Carl was sick and did not attend. For information on mad cow disease, see Howard Lyman's book, Mad Cowboy. 2. MLK Day. Peter asked for comments on the draft ad for the joint cities brochure that will be distributed at the Holiday Inn event, Jan. 16th, 4PM. We will pay $100 for the ad. We will leaflet at the University's event at Krannert Performance Center, Jan. 18th, 5 PM. We can use the flyer that connects war and racism. We need to bring the University regulations that show we have the right to leaflet inside the building (Rule 103D3, Code of Policies and Regulations Applying to All Students, http://www2.uiuc.edu/admin_manual/code/rule_103.html). Al will bring a copy to the next meeting. We will bring flyers for the table at the Monday Prayer Breakfast. [Note: can someone verify that AWARE is still a UIUC "registered organization"?] 3. Events of the past week. Ken reported that the local Green Party has sued to get on the Champaign County ballot. 4. Coming events. Prospect for Peace next Saturday. 5. Follow-up from AWARE benefit. We should probably do a press release on giving the funds to Oxfam Iraq and the local Red Cross. We will discuss again next meeting. 6. Big Noise tour. Peter reported that he is trying to get them to come in April. They have a new documentary on non-violent resistance movements. 7. Veterans and their Families Speak Out. Remember that we have invited the anti-war mother of a recently killed anti-war Illinois soldier to speak at the end of March. She is Rosmary Dietz Slavenas and her son was Brian Slavenas. Brian graduated from UIUC in 2002. Al will follow-up when the time gets closer.
