Another local effort put on in part by some folks on this list:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Palatine Conference Fosters Grassroots Efforts Toward Peace, Justice,  
Sustainability.
Palatine, IL - September 3, 2008 - When it comes to the large  
problems facing humanity, how can one person make a difference? A  
Better Day 2008 offers answers by bringing together distinguished  
speakers, activists, and community organizers for a day. The public  
is invited to learn and discuss the issues, make connections, and get  
involved in any of dozens of social benefit groups.

A Better Day 2008 takes place Saturday, September 20, from 9 a.m. to  
4:30 p.m. at Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist, 1025 N. Smith  
Street, Palatine, Illinois.

This open, non-partisan event offers three tracks of activity:  
speakers, an exhibit of local organizations, and breakout sessions in  
the church classrooms. Jim Kenney of Common Ground will give the  
morning keynote, “Peace is Possible”. Other speakers will address  
social and economic justice, sustainable living, support for our  
veterans, and ways of dealing with our differences. Exhibitors in the  
conference hall will include environmentalists, advocates for  
economic reform and social justice, and local peace groups.

Programs will emphasize personal involvement. Program Committee  
member Kat Doyle said, "We want to tell everyone, you can do  
something! Working with other people for a good cause is a great way  
to make friends, discover skills you never knew you had, and just  
have fun."

A Better Day 2008 is sponsored by the Adult Faith Development Council  
of Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist, Palatine, Illinois.
