WAND's 6th Annual Mother's Day Festival of Peace will be held on Sunday May 13 from 1 pm to 4 pm at the West Park Bandshell. WAND will be celebrating the original meaning of Mother's Day - to honor women working for peace. Performer Elise Bryant, mime Michael lee, jazz/Latin band Lunar Octet, swing/folk/blues band Footloose, children's sing-along leaders Linda Jones and Sheila Ritter, Ann Arbor Suzuki Players and WAND's own Vision Theater will entertain. For the children there will also be juggling workshops, face painting, Aesop Fable Puppet Theater, balloon animals workshops, new games, origami, arts and crafts, and clowns. Raffle tickets will be on sale for $1 each or 6 for %$ - prizes include a handmade quilt by Ann LaCross, a print by Laura Strowe, Sunday breakfast for two at Amadeus, brunch for two at Washington St. Station, a poster and greeting cards by Joanne Leonard, the record "College Days" from Liberty Music, and gift certificates from The Bagel Factory, Collected Works, Falling Water Books, the Lamplighter, Metamorphosis, Seva, Stone Age, Inc., The Tortoise & Hare, and Cats' Pajamas (all cotton, hand-painted baby and children's clothing.) Admission is free. Pizza and cider will be for sale. All will be canceled if it rains. 

Purpose: WAND's goals are to educate ourselves and the public about the dangers of the nuclear arms build-up (which the US is escalating despite the end of the Cold War). to influence our congressional representatives by informed lobbying, to support peace and justice candidates, and to empower people, especially women, personally and politically. 

Meetings are held the second Sunday of the months (usually at 7:30 pm) at St. Aidan's/Northside Church, 1679 Broadway, Ann Arbor (across from the Baits Drive entrance to U-M North Campus), except for May, when we hold our Mother's Day Festival of Peace instead. Call 761-1718 for a message about upcoming meetings and events, and important lobbying action.
