Every year we sponsor a table for the Buddhist Peace Fellowship at this wonderful Earth Day gathering. There are many tables and booths with food and other interesting earth things to buy from vendors. We will also distribute some DVDs from our recent CYMD event, such as discussion on Buddhism and the Environment. So far, we have Tom, Rick and Mark to help for this event. Please RSVP at our meetup.com/buddhism site if you can come and help staff between 11am and 4 pm.
