Editor's Note Let me start with apologies: For our last issue, I had planned to�mark the mailing labels with a red dot to indicate that they were from�the readers who had returned the subscription request coupon on the next�to last page of Peace Team News. But in the time between writing the�newsletter, sending it to the wonderful volunteer who lays it out (Susan�Rose�thanks again!) and revising the mailing list at least two times,�and printing out the labels, I discovered that I had lost the revisions. At the last minute, before sending�the labels to David Zarembka, who prepares the newsletters for bulk�mailing, I hand-addressed the ones that reflected changes, but forgot to�mark the ones that were simple renewals. So those of you who renewed may�have thought we didn�t know you had. This time as I revise the data base, I intend to put an asterick ( * ) and the year of revision or re-subscription on labels. If your label is lacking this notation, we haven�t received your response to our request that you let us know if you still want PTN. (See p. 13.) What this experience taught me, beside not doing�the labels at the last minute, was that we REALLY REALLY need some one�else to do the mailing list upkeep. We�d like someone in the DC or�Baltimore area to commit to doing it for at least one year. There are about�700 names on our list as it is right now. Let me know if you�re�interested. As I was preparing this issue, I saw that the articles we had were�by some of the same people who had written for the last issue. I believe�that the updates on topics of interest to our readers are valuable, but�I�d like to invite other f/Friends, especially those whose Meetings or�Friends Churches are doing Peace Team projects to submit stories (or even�story ideas) to us. We can all learn from each other. In this issue are three articles that suggest action (letter writing and�donations) to help people in Chiapas and Kosovo. Although the articles�were written a few months ago, the�concerns persist, and the need for international assistance continues. Finally, an offer and a request. At the end of October, FPTP�s�Coordinating Council will meet in Richmond, Indiana. A number of us are�available to speak in classes or Sunday schools, or to give workshops�on a number of topics related to Peace Team work. Several of us can�remain in the area for around 10 days. So please help us set up talks�with groups in the area, which includes probably anywhere within a 3-4�hour travel radius of Richmond or Chicago. Please contact me at: Val�Liveoak, PO Box 10372, San Antonio TX 78210-4108, tel: 210-532-8762,�e-mail: [email protected] TOP
