Arlington NW Update

Chapter 111 is in “GO” mode for the 2008 4th Annual Peace Arch Park deployment of the Arlington NW Memorial Display for those lost in the Iraq War. We’d been discussing with our fellow Chapter VFP 92 about a contender for the same day, but the Port Townsend folks have decided to back away from a commitment at this time – so we are clear to go forward for Memorial Day – Monday, May 26th.
As you may be aware, the display will be done a bit differently this year due to some new restrictions in the central mall area of the park, but we can still deploy on both sides and up the grassy knoll to the American kitchen.
We’ll hold our first planning session for this year’s event as follows:
What: Peace Arch Arlington NW Memorial Display - PLANNING
Where: Food Co-Op - Swan Café - Forest & Holly St
When: Monday, May 19 @ 6:00 PM
Who: Anyone willing to help out - friends of VFP
If you are not able to make the meeting but are interested in helping, please let Doug know and we’ll keep you in the loop.

The 23rd Annual Veterans For Peace convention will be held in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN August 27 - 30. Anyone who is interested in attending the convention should reserve their hotel rooms NOW! Due to the fact that there are thousands of people planning to be in the Minneapolis area for the Republican National Convention, rooms are very limited. read more
