[ShareTompkins] Share Tompkins Really Really Free Market Jan. 30

[Shira Golding]

SHARE TOMPKINS REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET
Bring what you can, take what you need!
Jan 30th 1-4pm at the Henry St. John Building

Our eighth Share Tompkins gathering is a Really Really Free Market!  
That means that EVERYTHING is free. Bring what you can, take what you  
need and at the end of the day the left-overs will be donated  
appropriately. The more we can provide for one another locally, the  
closer we are to sustainability! This event is co-sponsored by Wishing  
Well Magazine and supported in part by Sustainable Tompkins. Ithaca  
Freeskoolers will also be offering some short workshops during the  
market - stay tuned for more details...

What is a Really Really Free Market?

 From Wikipedia:
"The Really Really Free Market (RRFM) movement is a non-hierarchical  
collective of individuals who form a temporary market based on an  
alternative gift economy. The RRFM movement aims to counteract  
capitalism in a non-reactionary way. It holds as a major goal to build  
a community based on sharing resources, caring for one another and  
improving the collective lives of all. Markets often vary in  
character, but they generally offer both goods and services.  
Participants bring unneeded items, food, skills and talents such as  
entertainment or haircuts. A RRFM may take place in an open community  
space such as a public park or community commons."
