A couple messages sent earlier had asked Groupleaders to Fwd this to their membership, with encouragement to add their names and comments to this Int'l Surface Mail petition. As of today, 11 Aug 07, the total signatures has risen to 4,500, a remarkable number considering that almost none stand to gain anything personally from it. Purely a wish for a better world, in the Peace Corps tradition, and a plea to the gov't to assist.

I would ask you all to send this reminder out again, since it seems each time (to maybe four times) elicits another round of signatures and comments. I would like to see the petition exceed 6,000. It is probably the single most valuable thing we can do to support the current efforts of the NPCA Advocacy Program (Jonathan Pearson), and our non-PC associates. Later, hopefully, there will be hearings in Congress, and the need to contact Senators and Representatives. I am told that the attitude of congressional staffers is very positive, and flattering of our humanitarian concern. There is reason to be optimistic.

It basically has to do with the US Postal Service decision to eliminate inexpensive international surface mail, by which all textbooks and printed material have traditionally been shipped, in favor of faster air mail -- at three to four times the cost. This single decision has virtually eliminated many teaching, literacy, and library programs sponsored by serving PCVs, and a surprisingly large and varied number of OTHER efforts, including hospitals, health training, environmental protection, and wildlife preservation, all over the world. It is shocking the number of admirable efforts, PC aside, which have been demolished as a result of this one gov't decision. But the Postal Service has provided us the opportunity to express ourselves concerning this decision, and we shouldn't waste the opportunity afforded us. Click http://www.petitiononline.com/zikomo/petition.html

Several organizations, lead by Shannon Brown, Friends of Malawi, and Michael Quint, Books for Israel, have begun a web-site addressing the issue. Access it at

M-Bags-subscribe@yahoogroups.com There is a lot of informed discussion here.

This is a noble effort, if ever there was one. It sends a message far greater than simply the issue of mail; and that being that there are MANY Americans who continue to adhere to the vision of John F Kennedy and the founders of the Peace Corps, that patient work toward understanding among peoples, and the effect of education, ultimately is the only path to world peace. This was the vision of authors William Lederer and Eugene Burdick, a half century ago, whose writings were the inspiration for the Peace Corps itself. Right now, more than ever, Washington needs to hear this.

I think now is the time for these thoughts about peace to reemerge, as an alternative to roadside bombs, murder, hate, and mass carnage. This petition furthers that. One little candle above a sea of darkness.

Best regards to all, John Turnbull Santa Fe New Mexico Peace Corps Assoc

Saturday, September 22, 2007

Hearts and Hammers works with the City of Dallas to identify
homeowners who need assistance to keep their homes' exteriors within
city code.  H&H gathers materials, volunteer teams and resources, each
team chooses a house and does the needed-and much appreciated
work-once a year on workday.

Our homeowner is Hattie Lee Moore, 82, and her 60 year old son Willie
lives with her.  Mrs. Moore and Wille have lived in the house for over
20 years, and are very appreciative for our volunteer assistance.

The work the house needs is straightforward and much needed-scrape,
paint, replace rotted wood, build a handrail, etc.  We will need a
full crew of 20-25 folks, and if you feel you don't have any technical
skills please come because you will learn on the job and have a
fulfilling time.

What to bring:  3 EMPTY GALLON PLASTIC JUGS, 2  4" PAINTBRUSHES,
scrapers, any painting stuff you have, sunscreen, a hat, beverages (no
beer), your toolbox, broom, hearts, rags, hammers, circular saw,
LADDERS, yard tools and lots of elbow grease.  I am your captain this
year, please call me to sign up and ask any other questions.

Directions:  Take I-35 south to I-30 east to I-45 south, or Central
Expy. south through downtown Dallas to I-45 south.  After about 3
miles exit Loop 12/Ledbetter and go west (right). Go right at the
third street, Haas Dr., then left on E. Ledbetter.  The house will be
on the right in the first block

e_hromatka

(This is the charity started by the Austin RPCVs after Hurricane Gilbert. Rio Bravo is about 25 miles from McAllen. It is like being back in the Peace Corps for four days. Open to non-RPCVs as well; in fact, non-PCVs are now the majority. There is also an annual spring break trip. Ed)

We're starting to plan the next service trip to Rio Bravo, Mexico. Hope you can join us! Departing Thanksgiving morning Nov 22, returning late afternoon Sunday Nov 25. Mark your calendars.

Our pre-trip meeting will be Sunday afternoon, November 4 to brief folks on what's happening currently with the program in RB, and match folks up with jobs, rides, and roommates.

If you're even thinking about going, shoot a reply to this email so we can keep you in the loop.
Let us know when was the last time you went to RB (if applicable) if you think you'll need a ride or be able to take riders (besides yourself)- shared gas costs if you plan to bring a friend/relative/ other person/people how in/definite you are about coming. Also if you have special skills (Spanish, carpentry, computer, teacher, scientist etc) or interests. Or needs.

Work:

This time (for those interested in hob-knobbing a bit) we'll be pairing some volunteers or pairs of volunteers up with translators (local English Teachers) to do science demonstrations or to take kids on some field trips. We'll also need some creative folks to occupy some children with games so they stay out of the hair of those doing construction. Construction this time will be installing vent fans and sheetrocking at the Community Center (Casa de Katie), and some repairs. For the techies, we'll also be repairing some sick computers.

Costs:

Participation fee ($45 this time) will include a t-shirt, dinner in a restaurant Saturday, and ensure food at lunchtime Fri and Sat. It also includes a donation to the project to cover materials. Plan on sharing costs of about 55 gallons of gas- total for down and back at 20 mpg. Sharing $40 hotel room cost. Buying - lunch in US on way down and way back. -Dinner on Thursday in Mexico (might be provided via local community potluck) -Breakfast each day.

Bring either a Drivers License or Passport for ID returning to US. You do NOT need a passport yet to go by car.

This is the last round of classes for this year!

The latest round of classes to get your amateur radio license is
coming up.

Amateur radio is America's civil defense communications, strongly
advocated by the Department of Homeland Security and by every disaster
relief organization (Red Cross, Salvation Army, Southern Baptist
Disaster Relief, American Radio Relay League, Seventh Day Adventists,
Latter Day Saints, Civil Air Patrol, CERT, Medical Reserve Corps,
military auxiliaries and others).  Help yourself and your community by
being prepared to communicate when nobody else can!

Many PEACECORPS volunteers seek and use their Amateur Radio license,
both abroad and supporting expeditions from here in the states.

Just Google on "Amateur Radio and Peace Corps".  Wow!

Oct 27 and Nov 3 - A two-Saturday course of study is offered in Azle,
Texas (suburb of Fort Worth).

RSVP is requested to kb5ylg@....

Cost is $14.00 for the exam, due afternoon of Nov 3.  No other charge.

Location:
Ash Creek Baptist Church
300 S. Stewart Street
(Intersection of Silver Creek Rd)
Azle, TX 76020

Times 8:30am to 5pm.

To whom it may concern-

I am an RPCV (Lesotho, 2004-2006). I will be having a photography show of my photos from my time in Lesotho, along with a short talk, in Dallas on the 3rd weekend in November, and was wondering if I could post something in the RPCV newsletter. If this is possible, please let me know who to contact, as well as (if you know) the format / description you would like, as well as the deadline, and I would be thrilled to send the information.

From RPCV Cristy Ecton to the membership:  "I've already committed to a Career
Day the week after, but if anyone
would like to do this ... here's the request and contact information.  Please
contact Cathy directly."

I am Cathy Shepheard and am coordinating Career Day at Wilson Middle School in
Plano, and was
given your name by another middle school.   Our career day is quickly
approaching, (Friday, November 2nd), and we need to fill some
openings.
I am hoping you will consider being a part of this important day and
impacting the lives of our students.  I look forward to hearing from
you soon.
