Dear Friends,
We're inviting you to join us in Oak Park next Monday at the home of Barbara Ransby and Peter Sporn to discuss next steps for ARC 109 AND a discussion about the financial crisis. Many of you attended the September 13 ARC 109 gathering at Experimental Station, and now we want your input in assessing the gathering and thinking about how we can effectively utilize the document, the website and make plans for potluck discussions and a potential conference on May 2 (100 days following the inauguration of the new president). Also, given the financial crisis, the bail-out and all of its repercussions, we thought it would make sense for us to take the time that we have together to wrap around heads around what this means by sharing our analyses and thoughts. Martha pulled together a few articles for us to read - please see the links below. We hope you'll join us for this timely, relevant and meaningful discussion. Monday, October 6 at 7PM at the home of Barbara Ransby and Peter Sporn 719 S. Ridgeland Avenue, Oak Park Please RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by Friday, October 3.
