Hello New Yorkers!

I am happy to invite all of you to join The Valentine Peace Project -- an international public participation project comprised of students, groups, artists, and other individuals around the world who are re-defining the image of Valentine's Day. More than simply for romantic love, this holiday can also promote peace and global unity.

This Project is taking many forms, and a simple way for you to participate is to help with the distribution of carnations and poems on Thursday, Feb. 14th, 2008. There will also be preparation parties in Brooklyn on Tuesday February 12 and Wednesday February 13! These flowers can be given to anyone you choose to help build a more loving community. Contact Katie at  This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it   if you're able to bring words of peace to fellow global citizens on Valentine's Day, or if you are interested in helping with pre-event flower preparation. You can also donate to help pay for the flowers at the Donate tab on the website!!

Thank you for your time, and for all you do to make this city a dynamic and active community!
