Voter Registration
As part of our voter registration initiative, we had four members
assist with voter registration at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Marade
event in Denver on January 19.
Pat & Frank Gacnik, Betty Goebel and Veronica Goodrich were working
with the Denver League of Women voters and the Denver Election
commission.
We were also able to spread the news to a number of people about
upcoming voter education programs and make new contacts with others
involved in voter registration of minorities.
Contact Betty Goebel at 303 403 4521 for additional information.
PeaceJam support
The Arvada Peace and Justice Commission subcommittee on Peace in the
Schools is working on ways to support the efforts of PeaceJam in area
schools. One piece of this effort is to have more people become
aware of the work of Peace Jam.

We hope you will
pass the word to others through your church, service organization, or
other network of like minded people. PeaceJam is a tremendous
resource headquartered right here in Arvada. We will all benefit
by its association with our school children. To sign up or for
more information, call or email Phyllis Bunting
Or call Jes Ward at
