January 31 (Wednesday): New Peace Vigil continues at Mastic-Shirley at 4:30 - 5:30 pm
Because of the terrific response to the peace vigil held on the corner of Montauk Highway and WilliamFloyd Parkway, we got enough local contacts to start a vigil there.
It will be a weekly vigil from 4:30 to 5:30 pm.
If you would like to join us you are welcome. Our signs are emphasizing the cost of war in money and human lives.
