Oh, This is Incredible

Daddy's read my "Feeding Peace" poster. Here's some of the text:

Local Events
The East Lansing, Lansing, and MSU communities came together to support AFR.
Headed by the PEC and an RSO, schools, churches, and individuals made donations
to famine relief. Educational events including potlucks and food conferences were
held. Student groups hosted benefit dances, CROP Walks, and street fund drives.
Fast Days were held in the dorms (flyer pictured right). Students skipped dinner
and signed a form asking the Department of Residence Halls to donate the cost of
their meal to AFR. May 23, 1974, $3237 was raised as 4,980 students fasted.
A second Fast Day on December 5, 1974, attracted 7,588 students and raised $5311.

This idea came up, not fully from me, in our group. We're trying to implement that today. We're organizing Fast Days in the dorms, kids. My research is now being used to do it again. Oh, how glorious is life. Beautiful, beautiful life.
