Dear friend of peace

We at Veterans For Peace work for peace on earth not just during the holiday season but also year round. Yet it’s only once a year that we reach out to our friends and community to ask for your support. We’re having our annual fundraiser at Johnny D’s in Somerville on Wednesday, November 19th where there will be great food and entertainment featuring two great bands, “Eighty 8^th and Groove” and “The Undercovers”. This year we have a special guest, Boston’s comic: Jimmy Tingle. We have a fantastic raffle with wonderful prizes donated by businesses all around Boston and some serious boogying by VFPers and friends, young and old. Please check out the enclosed flyer. We’d love to have you join us Dec. 4 at Johnny D’s where the cover charge is only $15.00 (sliding scale), the whole evening is a lot of fun. If for whatever reason you can’t make it that night, we would very much appreciate for you to consider a donation to Veterans For Peace in whatever amount you can afford, in support of our work and mission.

In case you’re not totally familiar with what we do here’s a rundown. First off, our mission: “Veterans for Peace, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational and humanitarian organization dedicated to the abolishment of war.” During the past year our members have worked hard to stop drone warfare, opposed intervention in Syria and Iraq, marched in the Climate March in NYC and the Walk for Peace across the state of Maine. We conduct a Memorial Day for Peace event on the Boston waterfront. We march in several parades including our Armistice/Veterans Day for Peace Parade and Peace Event on Nov 11. We periodically serve meals at the New England Center for Homeless Vets. We support Midnight Voices, which once a month provides the opportunity for veterans to share their poetry, prose or song. We support an orphanage in Vietnam, and we work with Iraqi refugees here in the Boston area. And for the past four years we’ve organized the alternative St. Patrick’s Day Peace Parade in South Boston.

In sum, we know we’re doing important work in the cause of peace. We hope you agree and we hope you’ll support us either by your presence at our annual Johnny D’s fundraiser or with a check if you can’t come. You can send donations, made out to Veterans For Peace to: P.O. Box 1604, Andover, MA 01810

Thank you very much.
