Join
DJPC for our annual work-a-thon
BUILD
FOR PEACE
on
May 21, 2005 at Family Tree!!!!
We
at the Denver Justice and Peace Committee are readying ourselves
for an active spring! It starts with a big push to increase participation
in and contributions to DJPC's annual work-a-thon, BUILD
FOR PEACE (B4P).
Our
spring date is set for Saturday, May 21 st at Family Tree
. However if that day is not convenient with your schedule
we will have two more workdays in the fall when you are welcome
to join us! B4P is our most effective fundraiser and we appreciate
your support in this event.
B4P
is an excellent opportunity for you to get out into the Denver community,
contribute to a meaningful project and help DJPC in the process.
It is also a great way to meet other DJPC members and volunteers!
For those of you who are not familiar with B4P, here is how it works:
1)
Volunteers (like you!) commit to a day's work on a project. You
can sign up by calling the DJPC office at 303-623-1463 or e-mailing
us at djpc@denjustpeace.org. Please provide us with your name, phone
number and e-mail address.
2)
Volunteers then collect pledges from
friends and family to fundraise for the Denver Justice and Peace
Committee and its main programs, CAMINOS and Global Solutions to
Violence (GSTV). When you sign up, I will send you a Sponsor Sheet
and a packet with helpful instructions about soliciting supporters,
sample letters, information about DJPC and our programs.
3) Show
up on your scheduled workday ready to help, have fun and meet new
people!
If
you cannot participate in a workday, please consider sponsoring
and soliciting others to sponsor a Build for Peace participant through
contributions to DJPC, 901 W. 14 th Avenue, Suite 7, Denver, CO
80204.
THIS
SPRING WE WILL BE WORKING WITH:
Family
Tree - Family Tree provides shelter and services to families
and youth of metro Denver to overcome domestic violence, homelessness,
child abuse and other family crises.
LUNCH
IS PROVIDED AND PRIZES AWARDED FOR THE TOP FUNDRAISERS! YOU
COULD BE ELIGIBLE TO WIN A FOUR NIGHT STAY AT CASA MILAGROS IN YELAPA,
MEXICO!!!
We
hope you can join us for this meaningful, fun and exciting event!
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Yelapa,
Jalisco, Mexico: Nestled in the southernmost cove
of the Bay of Banderas lies the peaceful village of Yelapa.
Yelapa is part of a large comunidad indigena (protected
indigenous community), which has prevented commercial development
in the region. Yelapa's tranquility is ideal for those
looking to travel to a unique, unspoiled paradise complete
with a golden sad beach, a superb place to swin, snorkel or
parasail. Yelapa provides a unique opportunity to live more
simply and holistically. (Information adapted from:

Casa
Milagros Resort: Built in 1969, as a five bedroom
family residence, Casa Milagros is now a 12 room posada
(inn). Located high on a bluff, it overlooks the ocean, bay,
village, and river below. Casa Milagros has a large
double kitchen and outside dining area overlooking the bay
and a 2000 sq. ft. roof terrace that offers the ultimate views
of Yelapa. Casa Milagros truly is the finest way to enjoy
Yelapa, offering solitude awa from the hustle and bustle of
the old village and yet is only a five minute walk to town.
