[PAA-Discuss] Iraq for Sale--should we show it at 4th Fri. Flicks?

[Bill Crosier]

Yes, Iraq For Sale looks like a good movie.  It's one that our movie 
planning group is considering for our 4th Friday Flicks movie 
series.  We have a bunch of others in mind, though, too.

If you missed the earlier announcement, we have a new PAA e-mail list 
for people who want to help us plan our movie nights -- selecting the 
films, deciding on the venue(s) and possible date/time changes, 
coordinating refreshments & publicity, etc.  To join this list so you 
can participate in these discussions, go to:
  http://paa-tx.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_paa-tx.org

This new list is not nearly as busy as the PAA general discussion 
list, and you can drop off the list at any time if you wish.  Join us 
in planning our upcoming films!
