August 6th and 9th mark the 61st anniversaries of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Each year Physicians for Social Responsibility place an ad in The Oregonian asking people to remember the occasion and to call for an end to nuclear weapons. This year they will also put an ad in The Ashland Daily Tidings. You can be included for a contribution of $35 to help cover the cost of the ads.

If you can volunteer for the event or would like to work on the Shadow Project please call us at 503-274-2720. If you can give a larger donation to help support the events for Hiroshima Day, please do so!
