"No War Toys" Ad Campaign
Dear Friends of CCPJ,
As you may know, at this time of year, CCPJ places a 1/4 page ad in a  
local weekly newspaper encouraging parents to select holiday gifts for  
their children that do not focus on war or violence. This year we  
would like to make a greater commitment to this cause. We are planning  
to accept an offer from the Hook to place a full page, full color ad  
against war toys in their newspaper at a cost of $700.
Towards this end, we are asking for your financial support to help  
defray the cost of this initial ad placement and possibly even fund a  
second insertion later on in holiday shopping season.
Donations can easily and securely be made using a credit card (or  
Paypal) via our website.
If you choose this method, in the description field please enter "Ad  
donation"
or sent by mail to:

Thank you very much for all of your support throughout the past year!

Movie: Unmistaken Child
WHEN: Thursday, January 21 7:00 pm
WHERE: Greene County Library 222Main St. Stanardsville
UNMISTAKEN CHILD Directed and written by Nati Baratz (2008)
Follows the four-year search for the reincarnation of Lama Konchog, a  
world-renowned Tibetan master who passed away in 2001 at age 84. The  
Dalai Lama charges the deceased monk’s devoted disciple, Tenzin Zopa  
(who had been in his service since the age of seven), to search for  
his master’s reincarnation. Stunningly shot, UNMISTAKEN CHILD is a  
beguiling, surprising, touching, even humorous experience.
Sponsored by Jefferson Madison Regional Library and Greene County  
Library

Movie: Fresh: New Thinking About What We Are Eating
WHEN: Thursday, January 28 7:00 pm
WHERE: Jefferson-Madison Region Library, 201 E. Market St.  
Charlottesville
FRESH: NEW THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE ARE EATING directed by Ana Sofia  
Joanes
FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across  
America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the  
rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and  
confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental  
pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging  
healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for  
a future of our food and our planet.
