Olympia, Washington

There will be a community gathering to celebrate Rachel's life at the Olympia Ballroom, above the Urban Onion restaurant.  Time is 6:30-8:30pm. 

The Olympia Friends Meetinghouse will be open on the afternoon of Tuesday March 16th, before the downtown event that begins at 6:30 in the Olympia Ballroom above the Urban Onion.  We will have silence/quiet reflection from 3:30-4:30ish and then a NO GUILT potluck to follow.  If people bring food, great!  If not, that's fine, too.  Everyone is welcome to what is available.  The food idea was added as an afterthought so that people could eat something before going to the evening event. 
 
Anyone of any faith or belief system is welcome.  The intent of opening the meetinghouse is to give people some quiet, peaceful time to reflect on the day and its meaning. 
 
The meetinghouse is located on the corner of 2nd and "B" Street in Tumwater (just up the hill from Old Town Center).   From downtown, follow Capitol south into Tumwater.  At the corner of Custer Way and Capitol, take a right on Custer Way.  Custer Way will 'T' with 2nd Ave.  Take a left on 2nd Ave.  The meetinghouse will be about 2 blocks up on the right on the corner of 2nd and "B" Street.  From I-5, take exit 103 and go straight off the exit.  At the light, continue straight on 2nd Ave.  Again, the meetinghouse will be about 2 blocks up on the right on the corner of 2nd and "B" Street.
 
If there are any questions, I can be reached at 556-3285.  Please feel free to forward this announcement to other peace groups or interested people in the community, as I am not on many listservs.
Thank you,
