Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Events of interest sponsored by other organizations:

Adults and youth aged 16 or over are invited to participate in an Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) introductory mini-workshop on Sunday, Sept 12, 2:00-4:30 p.m. The program will be held at Old Brick on the corner of N. Clinton and Market Sts. AVP is a series of 3-day experimental workshops that promote respect for one's self and others, community building, effective communication, and creative resolution of conflicts in an effort to live non-violently. AVP is an educational program rooted in the belief in the presence of a transforming power for good and peace in every person and situation. The workshops are held in prisons, communities and schools throughout the U.S. and in many other countries. AVP-Eastern Iowa is looking for volunteers to participate in both prison and/or community workshops in our area, with the possibility of helping to facilitate workshops on completion of a training program. There is no charge for the AVP mini-workshop but pre-registration is requested by contacting Americorps volunteer Kathleen Crose at (563) 940-1380 or E-mail Kathleen <katcrose1986[at]gmail.com>. Additional information about AVP is available at www.avpusa.org.
