    Note: After May 15th we'll need a new space for the summer, so we'll be gathering just inside the Busse Library at MMU (actually outside of the library proper, but inside of that building.)

After the presentation, which will last about an hour, we will work together at planning movie nights, the movies, the dates - future speakers or short videos for Membership meetings, fundraising needs and possibilities, and all your other good ideas!

    Upcoming events that we should begin planning for:

    • The Coralville 4th of July Parade that we often walk in with Physicians for Social Responsibility
    • The commemoration of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima August 6th
    • September 11th - Maybe some of us should write editorials for the Gazette
    • International Day of Peace, September 21st

    Please come and shape the future!
