newsletter deadlin
Hello creative women!
I just wanted to send out a reminder to everyone about submissions for the next newsletter, which will be delivered to you in September. The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 7th, so be thinking now about interesting items for articles, photographs of recent WCA events, your member news blurb, etc. Let me know if there is an article you want to work on.
Please save all written work as a Word Document (.doc) and send as an e-mail attachment to: newsletter@wca-stl.org. Before sending it, please have another person read your work for clarity, grammar, and typographical errors. These things are often difficult to find in our own writing.
Our lovely VP, Marsha Heck, is willing to read and edit writing for the newsletter, so get in touch with her if you are interested in some editing assistance.
Thank you in advance for submitting your articles/images/member news on time.
Happy writing!

To Create a Culture of Peace and to Disarm Now
Great, great news!!! WCA will collaborate with other NGOs on a workshop in Mexico City! Our proposal was accepted! Considering how complex the workshop application process was, so casual and yet so full of "political" rules, and there were so many other NGOs applying, I am just so grateful we are IN. Now the hard work begins in fashion the workshop so we as a collective group of NGOs present a meaningful and coherent workshop and so WCA can establish a presence and a modicum of respect with the UN NGO crowd.
Workshop Title:
To Create a Culture of Peace and to Disarm Now
Workshop Description:
Our workshop's focus is international civil society efforts to press for the initiation of nuclear weapons abolition negotiations as part of the 2009-10 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference. We will address the importance of working with and engaging youth about non-violence and the use of art and creative actions as tools for social change. We will also present how people can speak out against Nuclear Weapons and Weapons of Mass Destruction², through Art and Culture.
