[haw-info] HAW at end of '08, just before the AHA

[Jim O'Brien]

To Historians Against the War members and friends:

We haven't sent out a fund appeal for quite a while, but the truth is that
our treasury is about bare.  Our national conference in Atlanta last April
was a big success in terms of substance and atmosphere, but not
financially.  Despite careful spending, most of our previous surplus is now
gone.  We'll send out an appeal after a new Steering Committee is elected in
January, but since many people make their contributions around the holiday
time, this is a belated request for anyone who feels so moved to send
something to HAW.  The easiest way is via PayPal, at
http://www.historiansagainstwar.org/donations.html.  Another way is to send
a check made out to Historians Against the War to the treasurer, Van Gosse,
314 West Orange St., Lancaster, PA 17603.  Thanks for any help.  In the
interest of truth-in-soliciting, donations to HAW are not tax-deductible.

For those coming to the AHA convention in New York, here is a reminder of
the HAW events scheduled for Saturday, January 3.  One of the events is
new:  the book signing by Carl Mirra, a HAW Steering Committee member.

11:30 - 2:30  *Literature table* (shared with Radical History Review) in the
area of the New York Hilton reserved for nonprofit groups, probably near the
convention registration area

1:30  *Book signing* for Carl Mirra's book *Soldiers and Citizens: An Oral
History of Operation Iraqi Freedom from the Battlefield to the Pentagon*,
Palgrave Booth #267 in the Book Exhibit Hall.

2:30 - 4:30  *Roundtable:  *"The Bush-Cheney Years":  In the Empire Ballroom
East of the Sheraton New York, 7th Ave. and 53rd St.  Speakers are Alice
Kessler-Harris, David Montgomery, Vijay Prashad, Ellen Schrecker, and
Barbara Weinstein.

4:30 - 5:30   *Open meeting* and discussion for HAW members and friends, in
the same room as the roundtable:  "One Faltering Economy and Two Wars: What
Can Historians Contribute?

6:00 - 8:00  *Reception* co-sponsored by the Peace History Society and HAW,
in the Sutton Center, second floor of the Hilton

All the best for the new year,

Jim O'Brien
for HAW
