Friends,
Please mark your calendars for January 28 & 29, 2005, when the Eau
Claire Friends Meeting (Quakers) is sponsoring a Draft Counseling
Training public presentation and workshop.
On Friday night, January 28th, J.E. McNeil, a lawyer with the Center on
Conscience and War will be giving a public presentation about the
military draft, including up-to-date info on the likelihood of draft
activation and how to be prepared for it. Participants will learn about
addressing militarism in our schools, the "economic draft" of poor and
disadvantaged youth and various issues affecting those currently serving
in the military. This will be at 7 PM at the Phillips Auditorium at
UW-EC.
On Saturday, January 29th, J.E. McNeil will lead a 9am-5pm training
session for draft counselors, to be held at L.E. Memorial Library in Eau
Claire. Trainees will also attend the Friday night session.
It is tentatively planned for J.E. to speak at Eau Claire Memorial H.S.
on Friday, and she is available to speak in the early afternoon on
Sunday, the 30th, by advance arrangement.
The Quaker meeting is sponsoring the training in order to create a
network of local individuals who could to help young men and women
examine their personal values, provide conscientious objector counseling
to young people of registration age and their families, and be available
to speak to schools and community organizations upon request. Further
definition of these programs will be worked out with those completing
the training.
The Friday night public event is open to all, and the Saturday training
is available for 15-30 individuals by pre-registration. The cost of the
Saturday training is $40 per person with some scholarship aid available.
