Hi Joy, We had a meeting here in Rochester yesterday night regarding the Ball of String. Instead of sending us a oz ball, could you send us a large amount of OZ letters, with tieable material! We are thinking of a time limit of Sept 27 (the unity walk). At that time we would like to have a ceremony here in Rochester, with national representation,(AND LOTS OF MEDIA COVERAGE). Two committee members (John and Jackie McCabe), who are on this network is collecting the mail, and we will keep everyone informed of the amounts from each state and country and any interesting comments we receive. We have heard from a couple of countries including Israel, and and quite a few states in the US, will keep you all posted. But we need A LOT MORE MAIL,so please put it in your newletter, and pass the word along. On the envelope please put, Attention: Ball. Please feel free to write any comments or ideas along with the material. Looking forward to hearing from you. If you or anyone have any comments or questions please post it on the network. Donna Testa:-)
