School Military Recruitment – we discussed the best way to deal with the issue of recruiters wandering freely through the High School
Larry will see if he can find the anti recruitment info he got at Bob Fest
Pat may write a letter asking about recruiters and current policy – maybe this is something we need to deal with as a Peace Group

Name Change ?? – We discussed how important the issue of justice is for peace. We discussed the possibility of changing our name to Waupaca Area People for Peace and Justice. Interesting thoughts on what justice means and the connotations it has for different people.
