On the first Thursday of the month for the next 8 months, between 4:45 PM and 5:45 PM, Northwest Neighbors for Peace will come together at the four corners of Winnetka and 42nd Avenue in New Hope and be a presence for peace. You are invited to join us.
We will have signs that read “Support Our Troops, Bring Them Home”, “War Is Not the Answer”, “Peace”, etc. You are also encouraged to bring a sign of your own choosing.
After the vigils, we often have a bite to eat and some friendly conversation. We hope to see you there to help support this effort!
