ANNOUNCING AN ANTI-WAR FILM EVENT BY A FRIEND

Skip Landos, a friend of our organization and a personal friend, is sponsoring a documentary to be screened at the Unity Spiritual Center.  Below is their flyer, announcing the film for October 22.  We all owe Skip a great debt, as he formed the Waco Friends of Peace at the beginning of the Iraq War.  We have evolved since that 2002 origin, with a focus on climate, but we are still indebted to Skip.  I encourage as many members as possible join me at this event..I know we will all benefit.
