TOPIC: Dear Mr. President, The First Thing I Want You to Do Is . . .

Bring memorabilia from the current or any past campaigns and your ideas 
for writing to the new president.

"The tyranny of a prince is not so dangerous to the public welfare as 
the apathy of a citizen in a democracy."
Montesquieu, 1748

The CCPJ Salon is a gathering to connect people in the peace and justice 
community. Our intention is to create dialogue on peace and justice 
issues, to provide a space for interpersonal and group communication, 
and to further both enjoyment, and action.

*CCPJ Says No War Toys*

As part of CCPJ's annual effort to discourage the purchase of toys that 
promote war and other forms of violence and encourage the purchase of 
non-violent toys and games, we urge all supporters to write letters to 
the editor at the Daily Progress.

Send your letter to Anita Shelburne at ashelburne at dailyprogress.com 
<mailto:ashelburne at dailyprogress.com> or to
The Daily Progress (letters)
685 Rio Road W.
Charlottesville 22901

Thank you from CCPJ.

Note: The annual "No War Toys" demonstration (usually held at Wal-Mart 
in December) is being planned and will be announced in this forum when 
details are finalized.

*Social Justice Bowl*

WHEN: Friday, November 21, 2008 6:00 pm

WHERE: Westminster Presbyterian Church, 190 Rugby Road, Charlottesville

Please join us for a soup and bread supper. Then take your bowl, donated 
by a local potter, home. Tickets cost $25 each and may be purchased at 
Quest Bookstore, Timberlake's Drug Store or at the VOP office, 703 
Concord Avenue. Tickets will not be sold at the door to ensure that 
everyone gets a beautiful bowl.

Part of the beauty of VOP is that VOP encourages the participation of 
those who have traditionally had little voice in our society, and builds 
relationships with diverse individuals and groups. The Social Justice 
Bowl is a community building event as well as a fundraiser, but many who 
would like to attend cannot afford the $25. Please consider becoming a 
SPONSOR by donating an extra $25-200, so one to eight others can attend 
the Social Justice Bowl.

Sponsored by the Virginia Organizing Project

Event Sponsors: Rebecca's Natural Food and Whole Foods Market

For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Sally Bastian at 
434-984-4655 x.229 or bastian at ntelos.net <mailto:bastian at ntelos.net>
