Rally against military recruitment on Sunday, October 2nd

This event is being organized by a coalition of peace groups headed by the Veterans for Peace. A presence there will show Rep. Lynch that his backing of the Bush war policy is a betrayal of his constituents. There will also be flyers about military recruitment myths for students.

Please assemble at the East Jr. High School, 305 River St., Braintree (DIRECTIONS BELOW)

between 12:30 and 1:00 PM - Sunday Afternoon - October 2nd

The Seminar starts at 2:00 PM. However, the military used to be on time, so I would expect them to be setting up by about 1:00, and people will probably be arriving from 1:00 on, so I would like to see us in place with signs and leaflets between 12:30 and 1:00 PM.
This is an information seminar hosted by Congressman Lynch for high school students
interested in the Service Academies. All the Academies will be represented there and will make presentations and take questions. Hopefully we can get the Congressman to answer a few.

DIRECTIONS: Take Exit 17 off Route 3 South. It is the first exit heading south after the split. If heading north from south, take Exit 17. You will see Hilltop Restaurant on right going south.

If coming from the South, take exit 17 and then your 1st right onto Union St. You will leave a Sunoco Station on your right.
