Dear all,

The 1000 Women nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize will be on exhibit in New York City from Monday, February 27, 2006 for two weeks in the Church Center, 777 UN Plaza, (corner of 44th St and 1st Avenue), on the 2nd floor. The launch, at 6 pm. on Monday Feb 27th coincides with the opening of the Conference on the Status of Women at the United Nations.

The exhibit will serve as a backdrop for all the parallel meetings being held in that room during the conference. Several thousand women from around the world will be in town for the CSW. You don't have to be a woman to appreciate this exhibit! Men are especially welcome!

We have invited Nane Annan to join in the launch and others will also participate.

This is an INVITATION to any of you planning to be at the CSW or in New York City at that time to please be in touch so you can make presentations at the launch. We want this to be as participatory and inclusive as possible. The launch is open to the public and refreshments will be served.

Will you please circulate this invitation? No UN passes are needed to come to the building, and people are welcome to see the exhibit every day from 8 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. and on weekends from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Many thanks, hope to see you,
