Invitation 2010 Season for Nonviolence - (Long Beach) Community Based Effort
I am writing to invite you and other community leaders to a brief gathering to explore the idea of forming a collaborative, community-based effort that would promote activities during the upcoming 2010 Season for Nonviolence. This exploratory gathering is scheduled for _______________, located at ____________________________________________.
As you may know, the Season for Nonviolence is an international grassroots celebration of nonviolence sponsored by the Association of Global New Thought. It spans from January 30 to April 4 – the 64 days between the memorials of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During this time, individuals, groups and organizations from all over the world hold events and activities to demonstrate that nonviolence is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities.
We believe that the 2010 Season for Nonviolence offers a wonderful opportunity to establish a collaborative effort to promote nonviolence in Long Beach and the surrounding communities. Please allow me to explain.
-----------Insert your own community details-----------
We at Namaste Spiritual Center have been working for over a year to produce a full-scale musical, The Enlightenment, which in conjunction with the sponsoring agency of the Season for Nonviolence, is being promoted as a kick-off event for the 10th Anniversary of the Season for Nonviolence. The Enlightenment will be held just before the Season, on January 20th, at the Richard and Karen Performing Arts Center here in Long Beach. We believe that the combination of having a large-scale kick-off event of this nature in Long Beach, along with the fact that 2007 is the 10th Anniversary of the Season, provides an exciting platform from which to launch a community-based committee that would collectively support any number of activities throughout the 64-day period of the Season.

I welcome your calls and emails if you should have any questions or wish to share your thoughts before this meeting.
Sincerely,
