[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Flying Brick Meeting Notes 9/5/11 and IMPORTANT info on listserv security

Mon Sep 19 03:15:02 UTC 2011

I know of a very rough documentary of Food Not Bombs that I checked out of
the infoshop, Civic Media Center, in Gainesville, FL. I'm friends with one
of the coordinators there that might be okay with loaning it to us through
mail. I could do it on my account.

Also, as far as tabling goes. Gainesville does an event at the beginning of
Spring and Fall Semesters with the University of Florida called Radical
Rush, which is "an organizational fair for progressive and radical activist
groups of Gainesville to recruit new members and publicize their work to
students at UF and Santa Fe."
Here's the link to the event, which was this past week:
