[O29] Bank Account/ Fundraiser

[Brian O'Connell]

Hi everyone,

Sorry that I havn't been able to make it to too many meeting but I just 
wanted to update you on a few things and add a coment.

1) I have opened an October 29 Coalition bank account. We should do our best 
to start soliciting donations or kicking in our selves a bit. Checks can be 
made to "October 29 Coalition" and can be sent to:

October 29 Coalition, 147 Dana Ave #2, Hyde Park, MA 02136


2) After a quick check of websites of the various 10/29 groups I noticed a 
surprising lack of info about 10/29, actually none. I hate to be an ass but 
we should really all have 10/29 front and center on those sites and if you 
can put up something on the 10/8 Fundraiser 
(http://www.oct29.org/wst_page7.html, 
http://www.meniscusmagazine.com/events_pages/peaceII2005.htm) that would be 
great.


3) Assembling Peace II
A benefit for the October 29 Boston Anti War March.

At the Spontaneous Celebrations community center (45 Danforth St., Jamaica 
Plain, MA 02130, http://www.spontaneouscelebrations.org/, 617 -524-6373) in 
Jamaica Plain on Saturday, October 8 from 6:00pm-1:00am. All Ages, 10$

The first floor is for groups to set up infon tables and introduce 
themselves, network, promote their actions and find new volunteers. There is 
a side room on the first floor that will be set up for massage chairs and 
arts and workshops. There is also a kitchen and counter on the first floor 
which will have food to serve.

The Second floor has a bar that will serve beer, wine and fair trade coffee. 
There is a stage on the second floor that will host the performers and 
speakers. A diverse array of bands, poets, entertainers and speakers will 
alternate on this stage. The program will focus on diversity and present a 
broad spectrum of race, sex, musical styles and speakers including veterans, 
youth, socialists, environmentalists, anti-war, labor rights, low income 
advocates and much more.
