BPF Boston: Fwd: FW: March 24 Day of Peace on Boston Common

Thu Mar 22 09:37:28 CDT 2007

Dear friends,

Here is some more information regarding the 'Stop the War, Troops Home Now'
events on Saturday in the Boston Commons.

The official website is www.march24.org

The 10am workshops will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral. If you would like
to attend either of the workshops we will try and gather at 9:45 on the
steps of the Cathedral. I am hoping that we will have a BPF sign that will
aid you in finding us.

St. Paul's if right off the commons at 138 Tremont Street - here is a link
to a photo http://en.structurae.de/files/photos/1/100km023/pict7344.jpg

and a link to the Cathedrals web site with driving directions and T
information.

Google Maps location of the
Cathedral<http://maps.google.com/?q=138+Tremont+St,+Boston,+MA+02111&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.219929,58.974609&ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=42.356007,-71.062768&spn=0.008023,0.021436&om=1&iwloc=addr>
the cathedral is right near the Park St T station, Red and Green Lines and a
block from the Downtown Crossing orange line stop.

The 11am Vigil is also at St. Paul's, time permitting we will try and meet
up again on the steps before the 11:00 service.

At 12:00 we will try and gather at the cement fountain in the commons
directly across the street from St Paul's. The speakers begin at 1:00 so
this will give us some time to introduce ourselves to each other.

Also tomorrow night (friday) at 8:00pm at the Central Congregational Church
in Jamaica Plain (85 Seaverns Ave.) there will be an event "Speaking Out
With..."
Cindy Sheehan, Felix Arroyo and Grace Ross. More information about parking
for this event can be found here http://www.centralcongregational.org/

I look forward to seeing you all.
Mark (Red) Wylie
