Dear Friends

The St Francis De Sales Social Justice Initiative (SJI)
invites you and members of your community/organization to:

SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTION EXPO 2008
9.00 A.M – 4.00 P.M.
SATURDAY, 23 FEBRUARY, 2008
HANLEY HALL
30 McGill St. N, SMITHS FALLS

Featuring Presentations by
“MAKE POVERTY HISTORY”
“DEVELOPMENT & PEACE”
“CAMPAIGN 2000”

And

A HOST OF REGIONAL ENTERPRIZES COMMITTED TO THE ELIMINATION OF POVERTY LOCALLY, NATIONALLY & INTERNATIONALLY

The objective of this EXPO is to bring together all sections of our community of Lanark County and Area (youth, churches, business and service organizations, social, civic, social and other government services, etc) to demonstrate how we can together effectively address the critical need for the eradication of poverty through justice, locally and globally. One of our key aims will be to forge the essential working connection necessary between local, provincial, national and international levels to achieve success.

We hope you will respond very positively to our invitation because you and your community or organization are integral to the development of the grassroots movement that can obtain practical results by us working together.

If possible, please let us know by 15 February, 2008, how many persons from your community or organization are likely to join us so you can help us plan better. In the spirit of the EXPO and to take care of dietary concerns, please remind persons attending to bring a BROWN BAG LUNCH and, if they wish, a simple dessert to place on a common table to share with others. Light refreshments will be available during the day.

With your active support, we look forward to an exceptionally productive day leading to action for a brighter future for all – here in Lanark and throughout our planet.

Never doubt that
“A small group of thoughtful persons can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that has!”
