Our next meeting will be a movie night on Saturday, May 9th, location TBA. I will let you know which book we are reading next when I send out the email for that event. For those of you who missed our last meeting, we reflected on the passage from pages 243-244 that I posted earlier, and discussed how we might apply some of the ideas from MBM. We raised the possibility of getting involved in some sort of service work together, whether through ministries already in place at Coast or through NGOs in the community. If you'd be interested in doing this, and you weren't there on Sunday, let me know.
Also, a lot of people mentioned events and organizations others might be interested in. Kristine urged us to write letters to reverse the DHS decision to close Friendship Park. More information is available at the Friends of Friendship Park website. Becky invited us all to the Cultivating Food Justice conference to be held here on May 1st and 2nd. Jess digs Chicano Park Day, and thinks you should check it out this weekend. She is also friends with the founder of Hope Through Health, who provide health care to Togolese regardless of their ability to pay, along the lines of the PIH model. If you didn't get to give on Sunday and would like to, consider HTH!
Finally, for those with an inkling to work internationally, I'd like to pass along a link to Chris Blattman's blog. Check out the 'Advice' links on the left sidebar.

Liked the idea to recollect last meeting and announce the next one. My friend is organizing an official meet to promote her company at one of the ultimate corporate events NYC next month. Hope she gets positive responses from all her clients.
