There are plenty of successes to celebrate these days, and Dec. 10 is the day to do so.

The party starts at 7:00 PM, December 10th at Kate Webb's house, 1917 Senate Street. This is a great chance to celebrate all the accomplishments of CPRC's incredible volunteers during the past year.

Bring a snack dish to share if you can. Come and celebrate, talk to other CPRC volunteers. Bring an instrument and help make music or just come.

Back by popular demand is the White Elephant Gift Exchange - a great way to recycle old, unwanted gifts. Find an item around the house that you no longer want to burden your eyes with, wrap it up, and offer it for the gift swap.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Georgia last week released new evidence that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting counterterrorism investigations into School of the Americas Watch.

Mary Olson of Nuclear Information Resource Service will speak about the new nuclear plan being promoted by Bush and the National Laboratories, known as the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).

When: May 22, 6:30 pm

Where: Conference Room of Richland County Main Library

This plan involves shipping of the nation’s irradiated nuclear fuel on the order of 14,000 times greater than the amount of radioactivity currently in the Barnwell dump…not including any waste from the extended licenses that are being granted, or any new reactors…or any waste from outside the United States – but that is precisely the plan: a GLOBAL nuclear energy partnership whereby, amazingly the United States – South Carolina – would take nuclear waste from all over the world, make plutonium fuel, and supply it to the partners.
