11 Sept: Wgtn and Lyttelton

Below is a preliminary notice of peace events planned for Wednesday 11 September, two in Wellington and one in Lyttelton. If you are planning something which you would like to have advertised, please send the details as soon as possible as we will have restricted access to email from tomorrow afternoon until Monday 9th September so will not be circulating 'what's on where' listings during that time period.

Please feel free to forward the listings below through your networks.

From 6pm to 7pm, at St Andrew's on the Terrace, 30 The Terrace. Organised by St Andrews on The Terrace, in association with Peace Movement Aotearoa, in response to the call from Peaceful Tomorrows for events around the world on 11 September which honour the universality of grief and the hope for a peaceful world. Peaceful Tomorrows is a US group comprising families whose relatives were killed in the 11 Sept attacks on New York and Washington; they "firmly believe that the real lesson of September 11 is that war and violence are the problems, not the solutions".
