Anyone is welcome to come bid in person on the evening of Wednesday,
February 9, 2005, at 2908 37th Ave. S. in Minneapolis between 5:30 and 8:00
p.m.  If you can¹t make it then but want to bid on something, just email me
a bid anytime before noon on February 9th.

Directions:   2908 37th Ave. S. is one block north of Lake St., one block
south of Brackett Park, in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis.  If
you take public transportation, the 21 bus will drop you off at Lake St. and
36th Ave. S., less than two blocks away; you can also transfer to this bus
just outside the Lake St. light rail station.  If you drive on I-94, it's
easiest to take the Cretin/Vandalia exit, turn south on Cretin, then turn
right at the first stoplight (Marshall, which becomes Lake St. once you go
over the bridge), and turn right onto 37th Ave.  #2908 is a white house with
a porch, on your left, the third house south of the corner with 29th St.
The phone number is 612-721-4918.

A reminder about the cause:  PeaceJam is a great organization devoted to
developing the next generation of peacemakers.  PeaceJam activities are
grounded in four commitments for peace:  peace within, peacemaking skills,
social justice, and civic dialogue.  In March, Rigoberta Menchu Tum will
come to the PeaceJam event in St. Paul, which will focus on the theme she
chose, ³Healing Communities Torn by Racism and Violence.²  It¹s very
exciting work, and so far it has all been done by volunteers.  Funds raised
 from the silent auction will provide scholarships for young people who might
not otherwise be able to participate and will help cover the costs of the
next Day of Peace at Red Wing Correctional Facility.
