Pastors For Peace
Two members from Pastors for Peace will be visiting Goshen College 
this Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.  Pastors for Peace is 
currently involved in collecting aid and sending it to Cuba to challenge 
the US embargo on that country.  Members of the organization are 
criss-crossing the US to get supplies, and to raise awareness.  They 
will then travel to Cuba with the aid (in violation of US law).

Where to find them:
Thursday 1pm-2:20:  NC 13, talking to PAX 310, Modern Radical Activism, 
		    this would be a great time for anyone to have an 
		    informal conversation with them.

	   7:30pm:  NC 19, doing a Peace Forum, with refreshments afterwards!

Friday     8:15am:  Rachel Goosen's History Class (US history 1945-present)

	  10:30am:  Del Good's Accounting, Business, and Economics senior seminar

An End of the Year Rummage Sale
The idea is to hold one so that students can give their stuff away 
(or even sell it) rather than merely tossing it in the dumpster at 
the end of the year.  Would a volunteer like to work on this?

Graduate Pledge
The idea of having graduates take a voluntary pledge to examine the 
social consequences (ie environmental, justice, etc) of any job they 
are offered.  This idea originated at Manchester College, IN.  Chad 
promised to look into it.

Movies Night: An excellent idea that needs someone to actually coordinate 
it sometime soon.  May turn into a movie night week.

Working with on-campus worship: Someone either needs to look into this really
soon, or drop it until next year.

Execution of Willie Enoch on May 21
Willie Enoch will be executed on May 21 in Peoria Illinois unless he gets a 
stay.  People expressed definite interest in going to vigil outside the 
prison.  We will be arranging something in the upcoming weeks.

Ideas for Next Year
We want to do some planning for next year.  That will be the focus of next 
week's meeting.  The object is to make sure the club starts off the year 
well, and to make it clear that new students know what PAX (and other groups) 
are about (perhaps a club convo, a mailing...).

And finally, we ended the meeting by all climbing a tree.

We WILL have a meeting next week, same time, maybe outside if the 
weather is nice.
