2008 Activities of the North Country Veterans for Peace

NC-VFP presence felt at the 2008 Potsdam Summer Festival

With only a short time to pull it together, we had our booth at Summerfest and had our presence felt in Potsdam. We made good contacts with the public and most of it was favorable. Many thanked us for our work. Several people took time to weigh in on the subject of "impeachment" on our public discussion board. Lots of kids enjoyed drawing or writing their ideas about peace.

Members brainstormed abundant ideas for next year when maybe (fingers crossed and hard work) there won't even be a war to protest.
