Earth Day 2008: DANCE of the DINOSAUR!

Our first meeting this past Monday was a great start for this year's
Earth Day Coalition! A small group of us talked about our ideas and
possibilities of getting involved in the many opportunities offered by
this kind of a celebration. Creativity is a key part of our process
and we look forward to seeing what we can create this year at Overlook
Park.

Next Earth Day meeting is:

Monday, Jan. 14, 2008
7:00 - 8:30 PM
Overlook House (3839 N. Melrose Drive)
Directions: (http://www.historicoverlookhouse.org/directions.html)

Please check out these important volunteer opportunities:

Good postering/flyering opportunity- see below:

Dear MoveOn member,

As you know, we have recently published MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your
Country. We are pleased to let you know about a bookstore event in

meeting-style opportunities for discussion, ideas for political
engagement, voter registration, meeting fellow MoveOn members, and
much more.

WHEN:
Thursday, April 8
7:30 PM

WHERE:
Powell's Books will host this event at:
First Unitarian Church
1011 SW 12th Ave.
Portland, OR
Tel: 503.228.3906

If you would like to know more about the book, you can click here to
see some excerpts on our site:

We encourage you to attend! Thanks, as always, for all you do.

Sincerely,
--Joan Blades

April 2nd, 2004

P.S. Here's an excerpt from an article in Publishers Weekly (3/22/04)
about some of the events:

On April 15, Fact & Fiction in Missoula, Mont., is sponsoring
"MoveOn Day," focusing on the Constitution and citizens' voting
rights. Co-sponsoring groups include Montana PRIDE, the League of
Women Voters, the University of Montana's Law School and the Montana
ACLU.

Left Bank Books in St. Louis is piggybacking its April 22 event
onto radio journalist and Democracy Now host Amy Goodman's book tour
promoting The Exception to the Ruler. The event also will be a
fundraiser for a local grassroots community radio station, KDHX. It
has been moved offsite to the 800-seat Sheldon Concert Hall to
accommodate the expected crowd. The evening will begin with a
reception, followed by presentations by a local MoveOn.org volunteer
and by Goodman. The evening will include a short film and a
book-signing by Goodman.

"This is the type of organic community-based event I like to do
best," said Left Bank Books co-owner Kris Kleindienst, who is also a
member of MoveOn.org. "We'll be selling books, yes, but we're also
calling attention to MoveOn. I think what MoveOn is doing is so
important. I like that they understand that independent bookstores fit
their democratic model. I'm thrilled to be part of this. This is what
we're here for; this is what we should be doing as independent
bookstores in a democracy."

Toxic Posters

2004-03-25T00:05:20Z

Hi y'all,

I picked up a stack of the ED posters to put up and within a few minutes of handling them, my hands started to break out in a rash, my nose stuffed up, and my throat started to close. I put them back, washed my hands and was almost back to normal in 20 minutes.

I thought I'd let y'all know.
