In case you haven't guessed, the BES platform tomorrow, the Ethical
Action Committee meeting before, and the Book Discussion Group
afterwards have been canceled due to the weather.<br>
<br>
Looking out your window you may think it is winter and festive but in
fact winter begins on Monday and to celebrate the solstice the <b>annual
BES Winter Festival</b> will be held next Sunday.<br>
<br>
Once the roads are clear, don't forget to pick up some warm gloves,
scarves, etc. with which to decorate the mitten tree, a few
non-perishable food items to be sent to Viva House along with the
clothing, as well as a small wrapped "sun" gift to put in the bag in
exchange for one you will take home with you. Sun gifts should be
inexpensive (no more than $5, preferably less) and meant to bring a
sunny warm smile to someone's face.<br>
