 ongoing occupation of Iraq. Themes include positive alternatives to U.S.

 environment..\nPUPPET-MAKING WORKSHOP \n\nSaturday, February 9th at 9am-3pm 
 \n\nDrive-by Gallery (117 West 7th Street, Chico) \n\nLocal puppeteers will 
 help us begin creating GIANT (10-15 feet tall!) puppets in preparation for 
 the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq in March (see below for more 
 information about the anniversary). The theme for the puppets and the 
 anniversary is "Alternative Uses for a Trillion War Dollars". At the 
 workshop, you will learn some of the principles of puppet making, then set 
 to work making such puppets as the Alternative Uncle Sam, the Jolly Green 
 Ecological Giant, the Peace Machine (as opposed to the "war machine", and 
 Humvees for Peace. \n\nThere is no charge for the workshop, but space is 
 limited. Please call the Chico Peace and Justice Center to reserve a space.

 War \n\nMonday, February 11th at 7pm \n\nChico Peace and Justice Center 
 \n\nJoin the planning for the 5th anniversary of the war in Iraq. The theme 
 of the day will be "Alternative Uses for a Trillion War Dollars". We will 
 feature a funeral procession to remember those soldiers and Iraqi civilians 
 that have lost their lives. We will also look to the future and, through 
 puppets, we will manifest the vision for a more peaceful world. We would 
 like for this to be a community effort as we imagine a world where public 
 schools are fully funded, all children have health insurance, our 
 environment is clean, etc. \n\nFor more information or questions, please 
 contact the center at 893-9078. \n\n\n\n\nCHICO PEACE & JUSTICE CENTER
