There will most likely be changes coming for the Peace and Social Justice Center, here in Wichita . It was announced at the monthly board meeting, this last Saturday, that board members are considering selling the Peace House and renting a small space instead. There was also some discussion on changing the direction and workings of the Peace and Social Justice Center. The organization is mostly older people and we are not drawing many young people. We need to work with organizations that younger activist are taking part in.
There is going to be a meeting February 16, at 1 pm, at the Peace and Social Justice Center house, to discuss these topics. This Saturday we had a tentative vote in favor of selling the house, by 5 to 3. There will be more discussion, at the next meeting, on the finances and the advantages and disadvantages such a sale would have. There are many expensive repairs needed to the house, including roof repairs and fixing the windows. Selling the house would remove such expensive needs and free the center up for other activities. We will be discussing the future of the Peace and Social Justice Center.
Any one interested in the future of the Peace and Social Justice Center is free to come and give their input.
