Dear Karen and Peace Friends.
The annual Pure water Days parade will begin at 1300 hours from Spring
St.
VFP and friends will form between Island St. and Pine on Spring
Street--that is two blocks from the bridge on Main St. "the western
bridge" over the Chippewa River, or three blocks from Bridge St which
in "the main st." in CF which crosses the "eastern bridge." If you
arrive with some costumes, signs, drums, flutes, trumpets, hats,
something to hand out, so much the better. Of course there is some
standing around until the parade actually begins marching north on
Bridge St. so you don't have to be there before 1230.
Our position number is 31. That puts us about in the middle of all the
groups.
As usual the Peace Vigil will begin at 1100 on the corner or Bridge
and River across from the Visitor Center.
Bring sun screen and an umbrella if necessary.
No one bothered us last year but you should be prepared to respond
clearly to any of the usual derogatory statements or good questions.
Remember: we have been in Israel since 1948, in Iran since 1953, in
Iraq since 1980 and Afghanistan/Pakistan since Jan. 1980. That is a
long time and thus far we have gained ? or lost? Who have lived, who
have died, who were wounded?
Peace, Chisholm
