[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: SJPJC-Board Silicon Valley Reads

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


AGENDA ITEM FOR DECEMBER 27:  Might the Green Party wish to be listed as 
a "Community Partner" of "Silicon Valley Reads"?


        They want an answer by January 1.  It doesn't look like this 
would commit us to anything other than having our name associated with 
the project;  see below.


        I checked the web link below.  Each year since 2003, they've 
selected one or more books to push.  I read the summaries for some but 
not all of the selections.  All that I saw seemed to promote cross 
cultural understanding from two girls, one black one white, sitting on 
the fence that separates their worlds to letters written home by an 
author's father during World War II, one of which contained a Japanese 
Flag he had taken from soldier killed in combat -- then later regretting 
he had mailed it home.


        I vote "yes".  If we agree Dec. 27, I will notify Charlotte.


        Thanks,
        Spencer

Silicon Valley Reads is a county-wide program that selects a theme and 
several
books and organizes programs and discussions on this theme. This year 
the theme
is "Invisible Wounds of War" and you can see the books they have chosen 
here:

http://www.siliconvalleyreads.org/2013-14/default.asp

The web site also has a link to their community partners. I've been in touch
with the coordinator and she says that if any of the Peace & Justice Center
member groups would like to be listed as a community partner, we can 
just let
her know by Jan.1.

So please get back to me soon if your group would like to be included.

thanks
Charlotte
