A rally against meal limits featuring music, speakers, and protest songs iwas held from 2-4pm on Sat., Feb. 13, at the Bo Diddley Downtown Community Plaza in Gainesville. Tables were set up for voter registration, so students and others who aren’t yet registered can vote in the upcoming City elections. The event is completely free and open to the public, but those who wish can bring a can of food to donate. Sponsored by The HomeVan, Veterans for Peace, C.A.R.E., and St Vincent de Paul.

A petition to increase the feeding limit was circulated

A photo tour of VFP Chapter 14 Memorial Day display for 2010. This is the 4th year of this display. It is the result of hundreds hours of work by hundreds of community volunteers, many of them veterans. Organized and directed by Sargeant Scott Camil, US Marine Corps.

The flags placed on individual tombstone signify a personal connection to that soldier by someone affiliated with Vets for Peace or by one of our visitors to the display.

Thanks to all the hard working volunteers who turned out for work days building the tombstones and on Memorial Day weekend to make this event happen.
