OTHER WAYS

August 3, 1971 A Bi-Weekly Community Newsletter No. 2 

WHAT WE ARE:

First of all we are a calendar of events. There is no serious attempt in Iowa City to keep people and organizations working for peace, social change, and new solutions for old problems informed and aware of what each other is up to. We need to know who we are, where we are and most important - that we exist. And other people who want to help need to know about us. You can help by informing us of what your group (or you as an individual) is doing and what you know about that is happening around the country. Call Jim Moore at the American Friends Service Committee office, 338-7250 or Shelley Lowenberg at 351-1174. All information to be included in the next newsletter must be received by Friday, Aug, 13. 

We also want to be a place where indepth articles about particular events/organizations/ideas can be printed. 

WE NEED:

Your reaction to what we do or don't do. Your help: to write articles, distribute the newsletter, type encouragement, anger, anything that will help us change and grow and keep us going. We also need money. We want to continue giving the newsletter away, but this means we need individual contributions. we have no organization support. Help us.
