Keep those OCCUPY Philly donations coming every week, folks! YOU are making a difference!
Be sure to bring OCCUPY Philly donations to peace vigils, every Sat, 11-noon, corner/High & Market, West Chester. Many Occupiers are HOMELESS VETS in need of warm clothing - gloves, caps, coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, blankets; and many have NO TENTS or sleeping bags. Additionally, if you COOK SOMETHING, bring it this Saturday, and I’ll run them into Philly. Area Buddhists are preparing meals - maybe we can contribute to this effort. If you bake something, or prepare a casserole or salad, bring it to the W.Chester peace vigil this Saturday. We collect every week but will take in cooked goods (perishable) only when I let you know that (like THIS Saturday). I can’t do that every Saturday but will let you know when I can. ALSO, let me know if YOU can take things in! (If you aren’t one of the regulars taking stuff in) by e-mailing ccpeacemovement@aol.com.
