But take a break from the beer and spend some time at out info table too!! We still need more volunteers to staff a JVP-Chicago table at this year's Arab World Fest in Milwaukee the weekend of August 10, 11 and 12. Come one day or come for all. We tabled at this festival, by invitation, last year and it was a great event!! If you're in need of a little re-energizing this is the event for you. The fest takes place on the same grounds as Milwaukee's Summerfest. It's an easy drive, relatively easy public transportation (I'm told) and cheap/decent accommodations are available nearby. Please let Lynne K know if you're available for any/all of the days and for which part of the day/s you can commit to being at the table (we want you to enjoy the fest too). The fest does run late into the evening. Friday 5:00pm to midnight Saturday noon to midnight Sunday noon to 10:00 pm To volunteer, email Lynne K at lynne.kavin@sbcglobal.net. =========*========= Sunday, August 12, 12:00-1:00pm: Vigil at Water Tower Place Join JVP-Chicago members and other Chicago area supporters to stand with signs against the Occupation. =========*========= Sunday, August 19, 12:00-1:00pm: Vigil at Water Tower Place Join JVP-Chicago members and other Chicago area supporters to stand with signs against the Occupation. =========*========= Sunday, August 19, 2:00-4:00pm: Membership Meeting Ever struggled with challenging the "conventional wisdom"and wondered how to most effectively reframe the issue?
