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.
