| 32.1 | Camping on CAPE COD Memorial Weekend | AULE::MARY | | Thu Apr 19 1990 20:31 | 65 |
|
This has (will?) be cross-posted in Friends, Singles,
and any place else I can think of! This is an excellent
way for the novice to try camping. Women especially
are encouraged to try. This started out as a group
of women & 'buddies' five years ago; and last year we
opened the invite to the 'DEC' community via notes.
Hello everyone!
Well, it's time for another SINGLES CAMPING TRIP. Yes, it's time to
dust off the old tent, get the camping box together, dig out the
cooler, and get the poles for the canopy together (otherwise known to
Mary as a Dining Fly (-:).
Yup, it's a continuation of the camping trips/ fall follige trip/
skating parties/ Bar-b-que's that went on last year. (noooo,,, not all
at once, silly... We are creative, but not THAT creative!!!) While
last year it was restricted to Singles, this year it will be open to
all. (Several couples have formed, and have informed me that it's
worth my life to try to exclude them!) However, it is still PRIMARILY
intended to give SINGLES AN ALTERNATIVE WAY OF MEETING each other. (So
I guess it means we are discriminateing against children on these tripS.)
So, if you're not busy Memorial day weekend, come and join us. The
trip is back to Wellfleet Mass (yes, Wellfleet is on the cape), just a
short distance from P-town.
If your idea of ROUGHING IT is staying at the Holiday Inn instead of
the Ritz, but you want to join us, you still can. There is a nice
little motel right up the street from the campground. You can sleep
and/or eat there and still join us for all of the fun.
We are a group of predominately single professionals, early 20's to
early 40's, not all from DEC, who like to camp - obviously. We've had
great fun on these trips in the past, and have developed a few
guidelines. Everyone brings their own food, or joins in the "group
cooking", and pays for their own 'tent space'. The only organized
activity is the Saturday night bonfire/ cookout on one of the state
beaches. Otherwise, everyone is free to mingle together and cause
basic trouble, or go off on their own at will.
The mix in the past has been more males than females (not that I minded,
personally,) So we are making an extra effort to get females interested
in 'experiencing' camping.
More details will be posted in SINGLES note 3813.replies (more info than
you could need,,, singles is on HIT::SINGLES )
All you really need to bring is a sleeping bag, an air mattress/
whatever to put on the ground, your clothes, and some $$.
So, dig out that sleeping bag and come and join the fun! We can almost
guarantee that you'll have a good time!
See you there,
Holly & Mary
WMOIS::H_TAYLOR,,, AULE::MARY
PS: While we do party, we do so in moderation. As a group, we do not
encourage any 'abuse' of alcohol, or even condone use of drugs. This
is intended as a chance to get away and relax, not get into trouble.

| 32.4 | Join me for Dim Sum on Sunday 11:30 in Lexington? | TLE::D_CARROLL | Sisters are doin' it for themselves | Mon Apr 30 1990 19:13 | 28 |
| I have been in the mood to to Dim Sum for a while now, and Dim Sum works a lot
better with a friend or two or three or more, so would anyone like to accompany
me next Sunday? (May 6)
I have been to the Imperial Teahouse in Boston a few times, and it was very
good, but it is a pain to get to, and gets crowded so you have to get there
early, so it is usually not worth the effort. But a friend of mine recommended
the Peking Garden on Waltham St. just outside of Lexington Center. I
called, and they open for Dim Sum at 11:30.
For those who have never done Dim Sum, it is an experience. It is *totally*
unlike the Chinese food you general get in Chinese restauraunts. They have
sweet things and salty things, and bread stuff with bean paste and shrimp
dumplings and... Anyway, they put all this stuff on carts, and wander around,
and you point to whatever you want and they give it to you. Then later they
add up all the plate-fulls you have eaten to figure out how much to charge you.
A dish usually contains 3-4 pieces of whatever, so the best way to try the
most different things is to have lots of people, so that you can just taste
a little bit off of each dish. (At Imperial Tea House they have no less than
50 different kinds of things to try. I never get to more than 15 before I
feel like I am going to burst.) The times I have been, the bill per person
runs around $10.
It's fun, and social, and tasty, and a must-experience, so if you want to
come with me Sunday morning at 11:30, send me a note (we should make
reservations if we have over 8 or so people.)

| 32.5 | Yum Cha not Dim Sum |-) | GIDDAY::WALES | David from Down-under | Mon Apr 30 1990 19:24 | 20 |
| G'Day Diana,
I think you'll find that the correct term for what you describe is
'Yum Cha'. Translated it means drink tea because that is an important
part of the meal. Dim sum is just the chinese of what we call dim
sims. Dims sims are usually available at yum cha. If you call it dim
sum in the states then start a trend and tell everybody of the error.
It is VERY popular here in Australia. As my wife is an A.B.C. we tend
to go to yum cha a fair bit. Ivy loves it but I would rather sit down
to a plate full of food and get stuck into it. Sure beats waiting for
every mouthful but if you want to try lots of different things then yum
cha is certainly the way to go.
Now let's see, $10 a head for the food, $1000 a head for the
airfare. Think I'll have to pass :-(.
Enjoy!
David.

| 32.6 | How about Boston instead of Lexington? | TLE::D_CARROLL | Sisters are doin' it for themselves | Mon Apr 30 1990 21:45 | 15 |
| Well, Maggie (what was that phrase you used for yourself????) says that
the Peking Garden in Lexington doesn't do a *real* Dim Sum (which is what
I have always heard it called in the States, David, even by the Chinese-
speaking folks in the San Francisco China Town.) So, would anyone be
interested in heading in to Boston Sunday morning? I called the
Imperial Tea House, and they said that to guarantee a seat with no wait
(it tends to be very busy on Sundays) we should be there around 10:00.
Fortunately, that early on Sundays, parking is pretty easy to find. Also,
it is only about a 4 block walk from the Green Line (Boylston station, I
think.) BTW, the Imperial Teahouse is right next to the arches at the
entrance to China Town, on Beach St.

| Just FYI, Peking Garden doesn't take reservations for dim sum, and
they won't seat you unless your complete party is present. Get there
when they open or you're usually in for a wait.

| 32.10 | SE Asian Dim Sum in Lowell | LYRIC::QUIRIY | Christine | Tue May 08 1990 23:05 | 44 |

One of my favorite restaurants is now offering dim sum. From their
advertising broadside:
You're Invited
Dim Sum (Rong Nom Cha) Style Dining
Bring a group of friends or come alone and make new friends
SOUTHEAST ASIAN RESTAURANT
EVERY FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY
10:30 a.m. TILL 2:30 p.m.
Dim sum dining is the original 'a la carte'. In ancient china the
tea houses (rong nom cha in Thai) were a place to meet friends and
socialize. During the late morning or early afternoon, carts laden
with delectable morsels in appetizer size plates were casually
circulated amongst the patrons. When the mood struck, the patrons
would take a plate and nibble away. Tea was always provided. At the
end of a patron's stay, the waiter would simply count the number of
plates sonsumed and charge accordingly.
Now you can enjoy eating in this traditional and relaxing way.
Remember, food always tastes better when consumed in the company of
good friends, so invite your best friends and enjoy the atmosphere and
great food.
SOUTHEAST ASIAN RESTAURANT
343 MARKET ST.
LOWELL, MA 01852
(508) 452-3182
Dim sum style dining is at its best when there is a full house of
people. A greater variety of dishes can be offered with the certainty
that it will be consumed. When only a handful of people are present,
you cannot possibly offer 20 varieties or more because there would be
too much waste. Help us serve you better. Bring lots of friends.
(I was there for dinner tonight and over heard the owner talking to
another customer, who'd asked how many different items they'd been
offering -- he said 10. This is (obviously) a new offering at this
restaurant, and it's not well known yet. They can cater to vegetarian
diets at dinner time, so it's possible that they can accomodate veggies
at dim sum; I didn't ask.)

| 32.12 | fundraiser for HIRS | DUGGAN::SCHNEIDER | possessive of THEY = THEIR | Mon May 14 1990 23:41 | 48 |
| This is a fund-raiser that is being run by a friend of mine
for an organization that I think is of interest to women and
others. I've attached a little more info after the announcement.
LAS VEGAS NITE
Friday, May 18, 1990
7:00 - midnight
Holiday Inn, Marlboro, MA
To benefit the Health Information and Referral Service, Inc.
Some of the services of HIRS include a rape hotline, a child abuse prevention
program, a teen health clinic, and a teen parent education program.
Admission $3.00
BLACKJACK ROULETTE POKER SIDE GAMES
The Holiday Inn is located on Route 20, just east of Route 495.
More about HIRS, originally known as the Women's Health Service
when my friend started it some 17 years ago:
The Health Service runs a rape hotline, a rape support group, a teen health
clinic, a number of counseling programs, a child abuse prevention program and
a program that enables teen parents to finish school or get a GED. Many of
these programs WERE State funded.
There is NO WAY that you have not heard about the State budget cuts over the
past year. And you can probably figure out that the Health Service, like
many social services in the state, has budget problems.
To help with the budget problems, the Health Service is running a Las Vegas
Nite on Friday, May 18th.
I should add that more volunteer help is probably needed to run the
Las Vega Night. If you care to volunteer, get in touch with me by
mail or DTN 297-6383 for more info. I aspire to be a blackjack dealer
myself :-)

Take your favorite road to Route 495 and go North or South to Exit
24B (Route 20 West toward Northboro). Go through two traffic lights
and turn right at the blinking yellow light. It is a DANGEROUS
INTERSECTION so please be careful. The road you make the right onto is
Boundary Street. Take an almost immediate right. Once on this road,
take your first left - this is Muddy Lane. The Fish & Game is at the
end of this road.
If you see an "Entering Northboro" sign on Route 20, you've gone too
far.

| Well, now that I've got your attention, ...
The Boston Hash House Harriers is an international running (and social)
club that meets weekly for non-competitive runs of various length in
the Boston area. Although the participants run at different paces,
the run is structured so that the fast folk run much further, and the
"pack" stays roughly together at around an overall 10-12 minute/mile pace.
We have every possible mix of gender, race, and age; the only common
thread is a sense of humor, desire to visit grungy bars (and tolerance
for the beer we finish the event with).
You're welcome to join us Wednesday evenings through the summer (Saturdays
in the winter). The next run will be on June 13 at 6:30 pm, starting at the
parking lot behind the Department of Motor Vehicles in Watertown Square.
I'll host the run after that, starting at the water tower on Park Avenue
in Arlington Heights (just off Rt. 2).
Martin.
ps: in case you wondered, in hash-jargon, a "virgin" is someone running
with us for the first time.

is organizing a dinner for next Wednesday, July 25th. Both Doug Olsen
and Charles Haynes will be in town and both have told her they can make
it. The exact time and place are undetermined at this time. She would
like suggestions as to where would be a good place to meet. (she said
she'd like to go someplace different, but not too inconvenient to get
to) If you plan to attend, send mail to Nancy at RANGER::BITTLE.

| The Friends of Sandcastles announce
THE 15th ANNUAL SANDCASTLE EVENT
"CHANGE"
Saturday, August 18, 1990
10 am - 5 pm
Steep Hill Beach, Ipswich
JUDGING
Judges will be those rare individuals who have distinguished
themselves as visionaries, persons of principle and outstanding hats.
Thier decisions, however flawed, will be final. However, to take the
full delight of hindsight, the Friends of Sandcastles will continue
to present the "Test of Time Award", to be given to the Sandwork that
was, in our opinion, not fully appreciated in the previous year.
THE TEST OF TIME AWARD
The 1990 Test of Time Award is given to the sand sculpture "Scary
SLeeping" by Jean Carey. The award will be given at the award
ceremony.
AWARDS
Awards will be given, even though this year's event is, once
again, conspicuously not a competition, but an "event". What we wish
to convey, dear builders, is the possibility of keeping your
competitive tongues a bit more in cheek. To encourage the admittedly
delicate poise between robber baronesque enterprise and Taoist
nonaction, an award will be given for the group or individual who
best manifests the mood of spirited "non-competition" (whilst
knowning full well that the usual fabulous awards await). Awards
will be the traditional Rare and Esteemed Objects, Sandpaper
Certificates and Ribbons. The "Coveted Golden Shovel" (for castles)
and the "Equally Desirable Golden Bucket" (for sculpture) will be
awarded in the Professional categories. The "Laws of Science Award"
will be presented by the Boston Museum of Science. Awards are given
for "Castles" and "Sculptures" in four categories each:
Professionals; Families and Friends; Just Kids; None of the Above.
JUDGING CRITERIA are:
Imagination and Vision
Interpretation of Theme
Technical Brilliance
Mood and Atmosphere
Delight of Builders in their Enterprise
Sense of the Ineffable
Ingenuity and Flavor of Bribes
IRONCLAD RULES and REGULATIONS
To guide builders towards more harmonious solutions, the Friends
republish the "Ironclad Rules & Regulations". Entries deemed not to
honor the "Ironclad" will not be judged:
1. All Sandworks shall respond to the 1989 Theme: CHANGE.
2. Sandworks should not only stagger the imagination, but must
possess human scale, either real or imagined.
3. Builders must enter in one of the categories listed above.
Design professionals "may" compete against children and mortals, but
in so doing risk censure by their professional societies and
right-thinking individuals.
4. Dogs and pets are not permitted on the beach.
5. "The Ecological Considerations"
A. To protect the fragile dune grasses: Walk only on posted
trails, never cross or off-trail. Use the portable toilets. Dunes
"verboten"!
B. Boaters: Keep a healthy distance form the swimming
area, and kindly keep your alcoholic drinks and containers offshore.
C. Some beach and marine materials are forbidden in the building of
Sandworks: Use of plant materials from the fragile Steep Hill dunes,
or any endangered plant or animal material is not allowed and will
disqualify the Sandwork. It "is" permissable to use plant materials
and shells washed up by the tides.
D. Some human technology is equally forbidden in the
construction of sandworks. Tools or materials that emit noise,
smoke, pollutants, or toxins are not allowed in construction at the
Sandcastle Event: e.g:power tools, spray paint.
E. Welcome technology and tools include: the laws of physics,
language, shovels, buckets, hand-operated sprayers, gardening and
mason's tools, custom-made molds, knowledge of ecology and marine
biology, planks for smoothing (but not retaining structures), wind
and solar devices including solar operated laptop computers. If you
doubt about a tool or material, ask yourself: will it scandalize the
Friends?
6. Alcoholic beverages and other drugs are not permitted on the
beach. Food and beverages are "not" sold on the beach, so builders
are encouraged to bring sumptuous picnics.
7. Our legal department, with offices in Switzerland and the
South End, prevents us from judging most things that are copyrighted.
The construction of sandworks in the shape lf Volkswagens or other
automobiles continues to be strictly forbidden unless these are an
integral element of a redeeming concept. We likewise implore you to
reconsider if you are seized with the idea of building an icon of
mercantile culture.

Sorry, but this is all the info I have at the moment;
I just heard the tail-end of the ad on the radio.
Perhaps if someone else heard more, they can fill in
the blanks... I don't remember what radio station I
had on at the time; maybe either WXLO or WTAG (in case
anyone listens to either of those.)
I'll try to get more info and post it here.
(put on by the same group who does Worcester's "First
Night" celebration as I understood the ad)

less than $5.)

| The Annual Bread and Puppet event is happening this weekend (August 11
and 12) in Glover, Vt (all day Saturday and Sunday). This annual
event features continual political puppet and mask theatre. Last
year's theme was the environment. This year's theme is women and
work. It's a great event. There is a nominal charge for camping near
the site.
Bread and Puppet is on Route 122 near route 16 in the Northeast
Kingdom of Vermont. It's probally 3+ hours from Boston.
I'll be camping/hanging out in the upper right hand corner of the lot
on the B&P (not museam side). Look for a Brown Suburu MA 421-KBJ.

5TH ANNUAL CAMPING TRIP
CAPE COD, MASS
NEW CAMPERS & CURRENT ALUMNI;
We are going on our annual
GROUP CAMPOUT at Paines
campground in Wellfleet,
Cape Cod on AUG 31, SEP 1,
2, and 3RD. (Yup, Labor Day
weekend)
We anticipate our usual SAILING,
Saturday night COOKOUT/ BONFIRE,
midnight "DIPPING" in the Kettle
Ponds, (Bath Water Day & Night)
FRISBEE on the BEACH, and LOTS of
RELAXATION all weekend long.
So bring your party hats & noise-
makers, and leave your troubles
at home.
***********************************************************************
For those of you who have stated that camping is one of your
'pleasures' in life, here's an opportunity for you to put
your money where your mouth is ..(.eh,...body where the keypads
are???...). We are a group of predominately single professionals,
early 20's to early 40's, not all from DEC, who like to camp
- obviously. We've had great fun on these trips in the past,
and have developed a few guidelines. Everyone brings their
own food, or joins the 'group food plan', and pays for their
own 'tent space'. The only organized activity is the saturday
night bonfire/ cookout on one of the state beaches. Otherwise,
everyone is free to mingle together and cause basic trouble, or
go off on their own at will.
If you are in your early 20's to early 40's, single,
male or female (that's an easy one!), and would like to meet
some like-minded campers, read the next reply for more info, and
send mail to WMOIS::H_Taylor, or AULE::Mary (Aule will be down
for a re-build, if you have trouble getting to her.)
mary & holly
PS: this trip IS open to NON-Deccies, so invite all your friends.
just let us know who's coming so we can reserve enough space.
PPS: more details will be posted in HIT::singles note 4120

| Sitting around with NOTHING to do on Labor Day, I discovered that
Marlboro is having a huge fair/carnival that weekend, with gymnastics
and karate exhibits, mini-plays, musicals, and [of course] RIDES!!!!
I'm definitely going on Monday (its happening all weekend.)
Anyone who'd like to join me is welcome. Just drop me a line.
(Great chance to see my new place...)

| 32.50 | More info on Festival '90 - the Marlboro Fair | ASHBY::FOSTER | | Wed Aug 29 1990 10:28 | 6 |
| Festival '90 in Marlboro is at Ward Park off of Rte 20 on the 495 end
of town. The tent stuff starts around noon. There is a kids parade and
(I think) fireworks on Friday. Sat-Mon, the tents are doing shows and
contests.
If you can find a copy of Action Unlimited, they give details there.

| 32.51 | King Richard's Renaissance Faire | LYRIC::BOBBITT | water, wind, and stone | Tue Sep 04 1990 11:39 | 19 |
|
The weekend of Labor day, and every weekend (long weekends included)
until October 21st, King Richard's Renaissance Faire takes place from
11 a.m. til 6 p.m.
It is full of singing, dancing, medieval wares sold for your pleasure,
fine food, good drink, and the Royal Joust, and can be found by
following the signs off Exit 2 from route 495 (in Carver, MA, near the
cape).
Admission is $11.75 for adults, but I think employees can get a
discount by talking to their employee services folks....Children 5 to
10 are $5.00, and children under 5 are free.
'Tis most unique!

"Women in Comedy" shows. Here is the line up.
I think the first show will be good. The others ...
don't know either way. If you've never done
Boston comedy, leave the house! Now! :)
9/26 thru 30
Rhett Butler (from HBO and Carson)
Julie Barr (works all over boston)
Genine Defalia (I don't know her)
10/17-24
Linda Smith (very agressive, lots puns, fairly blue)
Genine Ganfalo (I don't know her)
a duo , a "couple a skirts" (I don't know her)
11/7-11
Carol Siskind (so-so)
Wendy Liebman (funny, very likeable)
Jennifer Hoag (can't remember)

| re: -1
Out of the list of the comedians I have seen only one, Julie Barr. She
was at Pancho Villa in Leominster about two months ago. She was
hysterical! A laugh a minute. Definately worth going to see.
Lori Barr (No, I'm not related to her, or Roseann for that matter!)
|
| 32.57 | OFF THE HOOK | GWYNED::YUKONSEC | Leave the poor nits in peace! | Thu Sep 06 1990 16:09 | 33 |
| Calliope Players will be performing "OFF THE HOOK", a British farce,
on 10/12, 10/13, 10/14, 10/19, 10/20, 10/21, 10/26 and 10/27.
The Friday and Saturday (or Sixth day and Seventh day) performances
will be at 8:00 p.m., and the Sunday (or First day) performances will
be at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets are $8.00, but if groups of 12 or more reserve tickets, it is
$7.00. (Is it okay to mention ticket prices?)
The play will be performed in the theatre at the First Parish Hall,
40 Church Street,
Justine, please take note!
NORTHBOROUGH, MA
The play is a wonderful bit of foolishness, and has absolutely no
Social Relevance! My kind of entertainment!!!
I play (you have figured out that I am shamefully self-promoting,
haven't you?) a tall, homely, control-freak Justice of the Peace, with
a 25 year old daughter.
This says a lot for my acting ability, as I am only 5'2"!
I would LOVE to see you all there. Community theatre is one of my
causes, as it is about the only affordable way to see people sweat for
you that we have left in this country.
BTW, Mike. I don't have anything lined up for next spring yet. I'll
see what I can do!

Ellie Buford - Digital's environmental crusader returns to Spitbrook Road.
Ellie will talk about her recent trip to Bergen, Norway where she spoke
to a United Nations conference of world leaders. "Making a Difference"
is Ellie's catch phrase - both at a personal and business level.
Ellie's show, "Our Common Future", will talk about the UN conference,
the worldwide pollution problem, and on the need for business,
government and conservation groups to work together.
Please join us on Friday September 14, 12 noon in the Babbage
auditorium at the Nashua Spitbrook Road ZK1 facility. The talk will
last an hour with time for questions and conversation.

| 32.61 | Walkathon for Shelter Oct 13 | HPSCAD::TWEXLER | | Tue Sep 11 1990 10:58 | 43 |
| I was asked to post this by a member of the Waltham Support Committee for
Battered Women. He has been working with the Shelter for several years now,
and I'm proud to help by posting this. Please read on!
===============================================================================
On October 13th, Waltham's Support Committee for Battered Women will be
holding its annual WALKATHON: STEPS TO SHELTER. When you walk with us in
Waltham on the 13th, you will be joining people across the country who are
committed to improving the lives of women who are expreriencing domestic
violence. October is the Month of Unity, declared by the National Coalition
Against Domestic Violence. All across the country, battered women's shelters
and programs will be raising public awareness about battering, and asking for
volunteers and financial support.
Come walk with us! Even if you get only a few sponsors, your presence makes a
difference. By walking, you show that people care about battered women's
services in the Waltham area. State and federal budget cuts have forced us to
seek increasingly more resources from local comunities and local supporters
like you. We've needed increased financial assistance in order to keep our
shelter in operation. Our supporters have given anywhere from $1 to $5,000.
They come from all walks of life, just as the women we shelter come from all
walks of life. A woman who has been battered might come to us from Weston,
Lexington, Dover, Dorchester, Brockton, or Lynn, but regardeless of where she
has lived, she needs a place to support her as she makes the difficult
decision to leave a battering situation. Two-thirds of our budget comes from
the community, so every donation we receive makes a difference.
We are planning to make this year's STEPS TO SHELTER the biggest ever! There
will be fun, excitement, and surprises including speakers, refreshments, a
raffle after the walk, and prizes for walkers.
Your support is crucial to the success of our efforts. This year the Support
Committee has set a goal of $15,000 -- more than twice the amount raised in
the past Walkathon. This goal is attainable with YOUR help!
Please call me at (617) 891-0724 to find out how to join or form a group and
join us on October 13th!
Sincerely,
Jane Sarason
Fundraising Coordinator

| From today's Boston Globe:
DREAMING A WORLD OF NOTED BLACK WOMEN
The premiere exhibition of "I Dream a World" photographs by Brian
Lanker, opens with a 7 p.m. premiere party tonight at the Museum of
Afro American History at 46 Joy St. The remarkable collection of
portraits includes images of such notable black women as Maya Angelou,
author of a number of books including "I Know Why the Caged Bird
Sings"; Janet Collins, the first black person to appear on stage at the
Met; Clara Hale, who runs Hale House, which cares for AIDS babies; and
Judge Constance Baker Motley, the first black woman to become a federal
judge. These subjects, together with 16 others, will be in attendance,
and there still may be a few tickets left at $100 each at the door.
Beginning Monday, the exhibition is free and open to the public.
I also found the following on the editorial page. Note that it came
from the column which expresses the view of the Globe, per se, NOT a
columnist's view, and not that of someone writing a letter to the
editor/paper.
DREAMS THAT CHANGED AMERICA
The 75 women appear intelligent, energetic and proud. Some look
modest, almost self-effacing. Yet none appear defeated.
These 20th-century women are the subjects of a powerful photography
exhibit, "I Dream A World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed
America," that goes on display Monday at the Massachusetts College of
Art. Sponsored by the Museum of Afro American History, the exhibit
speaks to the potential inside everyone.
The series of black-and-white photos begins and ends with portraits of
the women who were key to the civil rights movement, Rosa Parks and
Septima Poinsette Clark. In between are photos of activists, lawyers,
artists, athletes, doctors, educators, mothers and politicians. Many
are well-known; the others have had equally compelling lives.
"All of these women... dreamed a world not only better for themselves
but for generations to come, where character and ability matter, not
color or gender," wrote photographer Brian Lanker in a book about his
works at the exhibit. "As they dreamed this world, they acted on their
dreams and changed America."
"I Dream a World" has been critically acclaimed, and the tour is booked
through 1995. Boston was not originally part of the national tour, but
was included through the efforts of Marilyn Richardson, the curator of
the Museum of Afro American History.
There is no admission charge, and The College of Art will complement
the exhibit with a six-week lecture series on African-American
achievement through the lives of women.
The exhibit presents a positive picture of black women that society
often overlooks. Said Jewell Jackson McCabe, who heads a group that
provides role models for black women, "Black people are the only
segment in American society that is defined by its weakest elements."
This exhibit rectifies some of that image.

| For any Californians reading Womannotes....
On Sunday afternoon, October 14, from 3:00-6:00, we're having a dessert-tasting
party. The party will be in the garden and yard of a house on Byron Street
in Palo Alto. A friend will be playing music, and there should be people
there from a number of places, not just DEC.
The party's a fund-raiser for Harvey Gantt, the pro-choice candidate who's
running against Jesse Helms, the North Carolina Senator who actively
opposes choice, civil rights, freedom in the arts, etc. etc. It's a close
race.
Please send mail if you'd like to come and I'll send all the details.
(Also contact me if you'd like to contribute but can't come.)

NORTHBOROUGH, MA
The play is a wonderful bit of foolishness, and has absolutely no
Social Relevance! My kind of entertainment!!!
I play (you have figured out that I am shamefully self-promoting,
haven't you?) a tall, homely, control-freak Justice of the Peace, with
a 25 year old daughter.
This says a lot for my acting ability, as I am only 5'2"!
I would LOVE to see you all there. Community theatre is one of my
causes, as it is about the only affordable way to see people sweat for
you that we have left in this country.
BTW, Mike. I don't have anything lined up for next spring yet. I'll
see what I can do!

Last night Dale and I went to see E Grace's play -- "Off the Hook"
in Northborough. We had a great time! The play is funny, the entire
cast excellent, and, of course, E Grace is especially good. We laughed
our heads off and were very proud to actually know someone in the cast.
Oh, and the seats even have cushions on them, so there's no reason
not to go!

Events of interest to Women at Crone's Harvest
NOVEMBER CALENDAR: SOME GREAT STUFF!
Crone's Harvest is a women's bookstore in Jamaica Plain (Boston), Mass.
There's a wonderful performance space in the back of the store where they
have readings, films, lectures (this is where the W.I.T.C.H lectures
are now), and performers. This is the only space I know of in the area
that is giving up and coming women performers a place to perform (I've
seen Kathy Phipps, Catie Curtis, and Eve Goodman there to name a few.)
I'm on the mailing list, so I thought I'd post events here.
Disclaimer: I've recently started volunteering at the coffee house, and
I'll be playing there myself in December, but I get no other benefit from
publicizing this space -- I just want it to succeed, and it's important to
me to support woman-owned businesses. (By the way, they have great books,
tapes, t-shirts, pottery, jewelry, etc.)

| TALKING WITH...
by Jane Martin
Directed by Derek S. Nelson
presented by Arlington Friends of the Drama
Performances: Friday - Sunday, Feb. 1 - 3, 8 - 10
Fridays and Saturdays, curtain is at 8:15
Sundays, it is at 7:00
Directors notes: TALKING WITH consists of 11 monologues, each by a different
woman and each converging on a world of alienation, loss of identity and
spiritual awakening. Their voices are rich, the details visceral, and the
stories heartrending.
Characters and monologue titles:
ALERT*************************ALERT
DRAGONS: Marti, young, pregnant, in labor for 23 hours, prays a last, frenetic
prayer to St. Margaret.
ahem, that's me!
********************************************************************************
FIFTEEN MINUTES: An actress who is "a little fragile" and suffering a "crisis
of confidence" confides in us as she makes up and dresses for a
performance.
SCRAPS: A housewife in her mid-30s, imprisoned in her marriage, tells us of
her daily forays into her fantasy life as the Patchwork Girl of Oz.
CLEAR GLASS MARBLES: Laurie, a young woman, tells us why her mother bought
90 clear glass marbles the day she found out she was dying. And, now that
her mother is dead, why she cannot let go of the one in her hand.
AUDITION: Mary Titfer, in her late 20s, auditions for a part and ends up making
the audience psychological hostages.
RODEO: Big Eight, a young rodeo performer, laments the end of the real rodeo.
"You're just merchandise to them, sweetie."
TWIRLER: April imparts the metaphysics of baton twirling. "I have seen God's
face from thirty feet up in the air and I know him."
LAMPS: A woman of mature years, Lila, confesses her serene, poetic vision of
her life's light and shadows.
HANDLER: Caro, an Appalachian, fundamentalist snakehandler, explains the
epiphany and deadliness of "handlin'".
FRENCH FRIES: Anna Mae pledges her gratitude to McDonald's for being a "beacon
in the storm" in her waning years.
MARKS: Covered in symbolic tattoos, Alain (40s) recounts her life's litany of
wounds, "this unraveling of heiroglyphs ... [called] love."
Arlington Friends of the Drama/ 22 Academy St./ Arlington, MA 02174/ 648-9737
Tickets are, I believe, $9.00. I will be entering more data as I get
it.
Personally, I think this is a fascinating show.

| This notice concerning antiwar activities in Cambridge was posted
yesterday evening, and is a bit late. However, it does refer to some
actions later this afternoon, and Saturday, that might be of interest
to those in Eastern Massachusetts who want to participate:
*** URGENT ***
due to the outbreak of war, the following protests will be held in Cambridge
MA tomorrow; 1/17/91
Meet 7:30 am in Lobby 7 at MIT to go to Government Center.
PROTEST 8am THURSDAY GOV'T CENTER
Also, Meet 3:10pm Thursday in Lobby 7 to go to Government center.
Saturday 11am meet in Lobby 7 to go to the city demo.
No doubt there will be more actions and I'll publicize these as I get word.
The above actions are sponsored by the MIT initiative for peace in the Middle

directions to Arlington Friends of the Drama.
from the west: get to route 2E. Personally, I take 128N, but you can
do it however you please. Take the RT. 60 exit. At
the end of the exit is a light. Take a left. The
3rd set of lights will be Arlington Center. It's
obvious. Take a left. Travel about 1/2 mile, and you
will come to the Town Hall on the left. That is where
Academy Street is. Take that left, and just down 1/4
mile on the left you will see a building that looks
like a Victorian style church. That's the theatre.
Can anyone help with directions to Arlington center from other
directions?
Thanks

> Can anyone help with directions to Arlington center from other

From New Hampshire, the easiest route is to take Rt 128 West (towards
Waltham), exiting at Route 2 East (Exit 29, as I recall), then follow
the directions in the previous note.
From Boston, take Storrow Drive outbound to Fresh Pond Parkway, then
follow the stream of traffic about 2 miles past the Alewife T-station
and bear left (following Rt 2 as it becomes an expressway). Rt 60 is
the 2nd exit; turn Right and proceed about 1 mile to the town center.

JUSTINA AND JOYCE PERFORM AT THE FRESH GROUND COFFEEHOUSE
Justina and Joyce present an evening of blues, chants,
ballads, and folk music at The Fresh Ground Coffeehouse on
Saturday, February 23. The performance starts at 8:00 p.m.
The Fresh Ground Coffeehouse is located at the First Unitarian
Society, 66 Elm Street, Gardner, Massachusetts (near the Big Chair).
Admission is $6 at the door.
Since becoming a duo in 1988, Justina Golden and Joyce
Zymeck have performed for audiences throughout New England.
Their harmonies are accompanied by acoustic guitars and a lap
dulcimer. Justina delights in musical diversity and has performed
works ranging from Gregorian Chant to traditional folk to
20th century opera. Joyce blends her unique style of song
interpretation with strong and sophisticated songwriting, a
commitment to human rights, and a flair for silliness. Justina
and Joyce have performed together at a variety of clubs and
coffeehouses throughout New England, including the Iron Horse Music
Hall in Northampton and the Common Ground in Brattleboro, Vermont.
The Fresh Ground Coffeehouse provides entertainment by
experienced folk musicians in a smoke-free, alcohol-free,
environment. Coffee, tea, juice and desserts are available at
reasonable prices. If you'd like to bring a canned or boxed
item for Gardner's Food Pantry, we'll see that it's delivered for
you. And we'll pour you a cup of coffee on the house! Doors open
at 7:30.
(Coming on Saturday, March 23: Harvey Reid with Justine
Sullivan!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Supporter of Women's Services,
We need your help.
The budgetary crisis in Massachusetts has fallen most heavily on human
services organizations, especially those that benefit women. To help relieve
some of the additional stress these financial restraints have caused, women's
groups in the northwestern suburbs of Boston are planning a Walk for Women's
Lives that will help raise money for the organizations that have been hardest
hit.
The Walk, which will be relatively short, will be held in Concord the afternoon
of Sunday, April 28. It will end in a rally where speakers from service groups
and others involved in women's issues will address the participants. Speakers,
whom we hope will include national NOW president Molly Yard and former Lt.
Governor Evelyn Murphy, will discuss a wide range of women's issues, including
reproductive rights, sexual abuse and assault and economic equity. There will
also be performances by local recording artists.
The Acton, Lexington and Lowell Chapters of the National Organization for Women
and local chapters of the American Association of University Women are among
the groups sponsoring the walk for Women's Lives. If you would like to
participate in this very important event call 508-264-4669 to get a Walk
Donation Kit. You can also obtain a kit by writing to Walk for Women's Lives,
83 Parkhurst Rd., Suite 106, Box 2100, Chelmsford, MA 01824-0900.
Your kit will include instructions about where to meet the day of the walk and
donor sheet for bringing in donations. TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TIME TO GET YOUR
KIT AND COLLECT DOANTIONS, PLEASE MAKE YOUR REQUEST BY MARCH 10.
Thank you for your interest and support.

| WMBR radio (88.1 FM, Cambridge MA) will be running a special tribute
to International Women's Day. The tribute will last the entire day,
from 8am to 2am Sunday morning. If I can get my act together and
remember to bring in the poster from my car, I will post the agenda.
There's about 20 different programs that will be broadcast.

its serious shortage of thrash metal.

Well, Mr Davis, are you behind the times or what???? Sue's show was
moved to Wednesday night at least a week ago. =)
Seriously, her show was moved, and Fridays are not nearly as fun as
they used to be (not to mention that Sue practically blew her top about
being moved).
I didn't have anything to do with the planning, and to be honest, I
don't think many of the listeners would enjoy my particular brand of
programming. Although highlighting underground punk groups with women
in them might be fun.....
And the Junk Monkeys are playing the Melody Lounge this Thursday, are
you going?
Am I in the wrong notesfile?

| Oh, bummer and a half (for outside-normal-working-hours bad news)....
Nah, I didn't know about Sue's move.
I figured at least an hour of L7, Babes in Toyland, Ut, the Vivians,
Scrawl, and all those other great women screamers 'n' pounders was
called for. Hey, you never know; 'MBR Int'l Wmn's Day played some
Holly Hughes last year; that shows a sense of humor! If you do it,
don't forget to throw in Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" (*sigh*).
Thursday night is kind of crowded: Mobius is doing a staging of some
of Gertrude Stein's "Geographies and Plays", the Susan Marshall dance
company is at the Emerson Majestic Theater, and highlights of the Black
Maria Film Festival are at the Boston Film & Video Foundation.
(Hmm, hope there's enough feminine name-dropping in those last two
paragraphs that this doesn't count as a rathole...)

| 32.115 | meet your reps at the Acton Area NOW meeting | DCL::NANCYB | | Tue Mar 12 1991 01:14 | 26 |
|
This Wednesday night at 7:30, the Acton Area NOW is sponsoring
a forum to discuss upcoming legislation that will be impacting
women with many politicos at state and national and local level.
Our national rep, Chet Atkins will be there along with State
Senators Bob Durand (very pro-women in his voting record and my
presonal favorite ;-) and Cile Hicks, and the local rep for
Maynard, Sudbury, and Wayland, Nancy "Hasty" Evans.
The NOW organizers are concerned about there not being a large
turnout, and I'm sure they'd appreciate everyone who would like
to have a voice in the laws that will affect them or those who
would just like to listen to what the politicos have to say to
attend!
It will be held at the Acton McCarthy Middle-school library. This
is near the intersection of Rt. 27 and 111, and very close from the
Rt. 2 "Maynard" exit. Heading north on Rt. 27, take a left at
the intersection of 111 (the last light before the Rt. 2
entrances). Take the first road on your right. The high school
is towards your left, and the middle school is closer to the road
on your right. The library will be the only one lit up at 7:30
visible from the parking lot.

Joyce, Are prospective members welcome too? Or just already-paid-up
new members? I'm sure that this evening would get a few new people
to join. When I went to AMC-Boston's "New Members" night 9 years ago,
I was impressed with the slide shows, the variety of activities available
to a member, and the enthusiasm of those who discussed their activity.

Bonnie, there is a "New Hampshire" chapter of the AMC (mostly
Manchester, Concord, and southern NH, as far as I can tell).
A few of them participate in HIKING notes, I think. I'm not sure
they do a "new members" night the same way Boston does. It's still
a good intro to the club, even if you end up affiliating with
another chapter - all chapters offer mostly the same stuff, with
a few differences, and you can go on trips from another chapter, if you
like.
Joyce, I'm doofus for not reading through to the end, but
now everyone's been told twice that they can attend.

| To add to Ellen's comments...Boston tends to be a social as well as
activity based chapter where NH seems to be serious outdoorspeople.
NH has a well organized family group. Ours is in its infancy.
Be sure and introduce yourself...I will be there.

| JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
Berkshire Public Theatre in Pittsfield, Mass.
March 28, 29; April 5, 6, 7
Tickets $13-18; 413-445-4631 box office
I'm in the show and from all accounts it's a rave! We have over 60
people in the cast, including professionial theatre people form the
Berkshire Public Theatre, people from the surrounding areas like
myself, and teenagers from the Desisto School and the Berkshire Farm
School (boarding high schools for emotionally disturbed kids). We've
been rehearsing intensively (every day for four weeks) and opened last
weekend -- the cast has pulled together in a way that demonstrates what
the show is about...
I'm one of the random unwashed mob (emotional range from "hosanna" we
love you to "crucify him"). A friend from massage school (Tom Rindge) is
playing Herod and has a great soft shoe number towards the end.
The voices are terrific, and the choreography (for 60 people!) is
extremely effective. It's a beautiful show. Stop by if you're in the
area!

| 22nd Annual Project Bread Walk for Hunger
Sunday, May 5
20 mile walk around Boston
This is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday -- walking outside for a few
hours as part of a huge human wave of people who are committed to
doing something constructive to help the hungry, the homeless, the
needy of the Boston area and beyond! Last year, 40,000 people walked
to raise $4 million.
This will be my fifth Walk. This year, the Boston Foundation is
donating $10 per walker -- AND an extra $10 for every previous year
walked, so even without getting pledges my Walk will donate $50 to
feeding the hungry.
Money raised goes directly to over 300 regional shelters, kitchens,
AIDS action groups, etc. It is a very worthwhile cause and a lot of
fun!
If you would like to sponsor me, please contact me at CADSYS::PSMITH or
DTN 225-5063. Digital matches funds -- I will do the paperwork.
If you would like to walk or volunteer at refreshment stands or as a
walk marshall, call Project Bread at 617-723-5000.
Support those who mend the holes in America's safety net! Thank you!

I found this flyer posted at our copy machine area:
Nashua Area NOW
"Challenging Barriers to Women's Equality: Looking Backwards
to Understand Today"
Presented by Martha J. Szufnarowski
7:00pm Wednesday April 24, 1991, Nashua Public Library, Hunt Room.
Would you believe the following statements?
* Until the 19th century, a man could legally beat his wife
as long as it was with a stick "no thicker than his thumb"
* Ladies wearing trousers called "bloomers" were publicly
stoned, spat upon and ridiculed in 1852
* In 1991, men in 22 states cannot be prosecuted for raping
their wives.
Discover the truth behind these shocking facts. Ms Szufnarowski's
program explores the legal and social barriers to women's equality
as they have changed and -not changed- over time in the US.
Topics include women's right to:
* Vote/become politically active
* Obtain reproductive health care
* Receive protection from violence against women
* Access to jobs, education and equal pay.
Ms. Szufnarowski is the Assistant Regianl Director of Women in
Community Service, an agency affiliated with the US Department
of Labor, Office of Job Corps. She is also a NOW member.
For more info and directions call 603-880-8895. This event
is free and open to the public.

a Love-In in Harvard Square
Announcing (from a handout from a long-haired dude in a tophat I met
in the square - and in this flyer there are lots of hearts and peace
signs and flowers, but I don't have any fonts for that!)
the annual spring Cambridge Common Love-In (make love not war)
May 4, 1991, is the 21st anniversary of the brutal slaying of four
students who were gunned down in cold blood by the Ohio National Guard
during a peace rally at Kent State University. This LOVE IN is held
in remembrance of these students, and in remembrance of all who have
suffered and died in the struggle for peace, love, and understanding.
Saturday and Sunday, May 4th and 5th, 1991 and every sunny saturday in
May
From noon til night, gather in a big circle on the Cambridge common,
near Harvard Square on Massachusetts Ave. Easy walk from the Harvard
Red Line T.
Bring flutes, bongos, face-paint, and flowers.
(brought to you by the )Cambridge common Love-in Group - (apparently
the same people who brought you the Freakin' Freak-In last year!)

This Thursday evening (April 18) at 7:30pm, Cambridge
city officials are sponsoring a "Community Crime Meeting" at
North Prospect United Church of Christ on Mass Ave near
Porter Square.
Could someone familiar with that area post directions?
The Cambridge Police will be talking about violence and
about violence against women.
========================================================
Testimony given at the 1990 Public Safety Committee hearings
at the State House included one woman was told by a Cambridge
official,
"We don't give permits to broads here"
(She was speaking for the Fair Licensing Act related to
the License to Carry Firearms)
I wonder if the Cambridge police will be any more accepting
of women making the choice to carry firearms for
self-protection..

and she said that she is playing in the semi-finals of a song-writing
competition this Wednesday, April 24 at Nightstage in Cambridge. I want to
go cheer her on! Anyone care to join me?
There will be 10 performers, each playing a set of three songs. The order
will be determined before the show by drawing names, so I have no idea when
Catie will be playing. I also have no idea who else will be playing. A
real pig-in-the-poke, if you will. :-)
The show starts at 7:00. Nightstage on Main St, outside on Central

I have no idea what, if any, the cover charge would be.

| Crones' Harvest is showing _Oranges_are_not_the_only_fruit_, the
wonderful film adaptation of Jeannette Winterson's autobigraphical
novel, on Friday, May 3 at 8 pm.
This is a benefit for the Boston Center for Lesbians and Gay Men.
Suggested donation $10.00
I saw this film at last year's Gay&Lesbian film festival. It's very
true to the book, which is also wonderful. It tells the story of
a young woman coming out as a lesbian in the home of her Christian
fundamentalist mother.
I think this event will be well attended, so folks should get their
early if they're planning to go. Crones' Harvest is at 761 Centre St.
in Jamaica Plain, and it's wheelchair accessible. I can send directions
to anyone who's interested. There are a number of excellent restaurants
within walking distance of the store.

We are AWARE
Arming Women Against Rape and Endangerment
==============================================================
CAP-STUN
An effective part of your personal protection strategy!
--------------------------------------------------------------
CAP-STUN is a chemical aerosol spray based on the natural
ingredient in hot peppers, oleoresin capsicum. CAP-STUN
instantly and safely incapacitates assailants by acting as an
inflammatory agent that causes mucous membranes to swell,
producing an immediate closing of the eyes, uncontrollable
coughing, gagging, and gasping for breath.
Mace is often ineffective on assailants under the influence
of alcohol, drugs, in an highly emotional state, or someone
insensitive to pain (characteristics frequently found in
violent assailants.) In police use, CAP-STUN has
demonstrated its effectiveness under these conditions. Like
other self-defense aerosols, you must have an FID (Firearms
ID) card or a firearms license in order to possess CAP-STUN
legally.
The next AWARE CAP-STUN class date and location is:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Friday, May 17, 1991 7:30 - 9:30 pm
"The First Parish in Cambridge" Church, Upstairs Parlor
room
[the big white Unitarian Church in Harvard Square on the
corner of Mass Ave. and Church St.]
+ Please remember to bring your FID card to class. You will
not be admitted without one!
--------------------------------------------------------------
This presentation is designed specifically for qualified
civilians who want to carry a safe, effective, less-than-
lethal chemical deterrent for self-protection. Based on
materials normally taught to police and law enforcement
personnel, this class includes: A detailed description of
CAP-STUN, how it compares to Mace, how it works, how to carry
it, when and how to use it, how to keep it from being taken
away from you, what to do after using it, and **hands-on
practice** with a mint-scented inert spray. Participants may
choose to experience being sprayed with CAP-STUN, but this is
not required. You will receive a certificate of attendance
and a purse/pocket size container of CAP-STUN.
Roger Lanny, Certified CAP-STUN Instructor as well as board
member and founding supporter of AWARE, designed the
presentation and will be instructing the class. Roger's
numerous other qualifications include being a certified
instructor in home firearms safety, personal protection,
basic pistol and rifle marksmanship. Roger has taught a
variety of courses locally and in New Hampshire and is an
associate member of the American Society of Law Enforcement
Trainers (ASLET).
To obtain an FID card, go to your local police station and
say that you want to apply for an FID in order to carry CAP-
STUN or Mace (some police stations may not have heard of CAP-
STUN). There will be an application to complete and small
fee to pay. You must obtain a FID from the police in your
town of residence. Please allow at least 2 weeks, as this
can vary from town to town. Some towns such as Cambridge are
expediting this process.
To reserve a place in the next AWARE CAP-STUN training
course, please complete the following items, clip the form
below, and return to AWARE at the address below as soon as
possible. Class size is limited, so act now!

p.m. The Fresh Ground Coffeehouse is located at The First Unitarian
Society, 66 Elm Street (near the Big Chair), in Gardner, Massachusetts.
Admission is $7 at the door ($4 for children under 14).
Raised in the gospel and madrigal music tradition, Gail Rundlett
has been capturing the hearts of New England concert-goers for the past
ten years. In addition to traditional ballads, Gail's repertoire includes
children's songs and songs by contemporary artists such as Joni Mitchell,
Bob Franke, Mary McCaslin, and Robin Batteau. Her rich, clear voice is
accompanied by the mountain dulcimer and guitar.
Gail's recordings include "Just in Time" and "Farther Along."
"Farther Along" features celebrated artists Sally Rogers, Lorraine Lee,
and Johnny Cunningham.
Gail has performed at some of the Northeast's most exciting
venues, including the successful Folktree series, "New England's Finest"
and "Women in Music." Other performances include Passim, the Speakeasy, and
the New England Folk Festival.
The Fresh Ground Coffeehouse provides entertainment by
experienced folk musicians in a smoke-free, alcohol-free environment.
Refreshments are available. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Among the new breed of New England-based folksingers,
one name stands out -- that of Gail Rundlett. She continues
to build on a wide variety of different musical styles, and
her rich voice blends well with her dulcimer technique."
- Dick Pleasant, WADN
"Gail Rundlett was a thorough delight, blending songs by
Robin Batteau, Mary McCaslin and others with angelic
softness..."
- Steve Morse, The Boston Globe
"A performance by Gail Rundlett invariably leaves the audience
feeling good..."
- The Cambridge Chronicle
"Gail is one of the best ballad singers I've ever heard!"
- Jeff McLaughlin, The Boston Globe

FACILITATOR: JIM GIBLIN/DIGITAL EMPLOYEE
This presentation raises one's awareness of limitations we impose on
the employment of people with disabilities because of our own lack of
knowledge misinformation and myths...
This presentation deals strictly with the human factor....the modules
that are used consist primarily of participatory exercises, relevant to
the everyday world of work, which participants can relate to and
remember back on the job...the focus is on awareness and attitude, not
on specific conditions and disabilitites....thus the learning will be
accomplished as the participatns confront their own notions,
misconceptions (perhaps even prejudices) about employment of disabled
persons, and learn with, and from each other....

gags Family Planning clinics that receive federal funding from
mentioning abortion as an option to pregnant women.
The rally will be followed by a NOW meeting at the Nashua Public
Library at 7:00 which will have a legislative focus. We will also
write letters to our congressmen to ask them to support the legislation
that will put a stop to this gag order.

THE MRO DIVERSITY STORYTELLING SERIES
Our first presentation will be by Jim Sloan.....storyteller
Jim started as a storyteller using Greek Myths, Norse Myths, and Drama,
shaping the stories for special insights and telling these stories to
his children.
Six years ago, the town of Harvard started inviting Storytellers for a
weekend; there he saw styles and uses for stories that were exciting
for him. At a storytelling swap, Jim started to enhance his skills and
was able to offer one of his own experiences - that of being bawled out
by a tree.
In 1984, Jim joined Digital at Marlboro, as a software developer in the
Chroma Group.
Presently, Jim is telling Native American teaching stories and Listener
action stories, among many others that mirror the world in many ways.

| 32.166 | PAN MASS CHALLENGE - JIMMY FUND | MR4DEC::HETRICK | | Wed Jun 12 1991 17:49 | 42 |
| The Pan Mass Challenge to benefit the Jimmy Fund will be held on
August 10 - 11 this year. The Pan Mass Challenge is the single
largest fund raiser for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer
Institute. Over 90% of the funds raised from the Pan Mass Challenge
go directly to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the remainder pays
the costs of the ride itself.
The Pan Mass Challenge is a two day, 192 mile bike ride from Sturbridge
to Provincetown. Last year, over 900 people rode in the Pan Mass
Challenge, raising 1.3 million dollars. Each person must obtain at
least $800 in order to participate.
If you are interested in participating in the PMC, the contacts are
as follows:
Billy Starr Boston Area (617) 965-9624
Amy North Shore Area (508) 352-7411
Judi South Shore Area (617) 837-0884
Dennis Springfield Area (413) 572-8174
Mike Cape Cod Area (508) 771-8174
Brian Worcester Area (508) 865-0530
I will be participating in the PMC for the first time this year, along
with my SO who is participating for the second time. My main reasons
for participating are that, unlike a large number of charitable
organizations, most of the funds go DIRECTLY to the charity, rather
than to support a large fundraising organization; and that, in my
opinion, the Dana Farber has a good track record of accomplishments
in cancer and AIDS research.
If you would like to sponsor my ride and contribute to cancer research,
please contact me at MR4DEC::HETRICK or DTN 297-4653. DEC matches
if you provide your badge number when you contribute, I will fill
out the paperwork for anyone who sponsors me.
Please forward this to anyone and everyone you think might be interested
in supporting cancer research by sponsoring me in the Pan Mass Challenge!
Thanks for your help.

are new or =wn=, or have forgotten, that there is a FWO (for-women
only) party/event planning list.
If you would like to be on the list, send me mail. If you don't know
if you are on the list - well, I have sent out two mailings in the last
two weeks, if you got them, you're on the list; if you didn't, you
aren't.

| Woops! I realize that my last message might have been confusing to
some. The FWO dist list I mentioned is NOT the same as the 5th
Anniversary FWO event dist list. The latter is for notification only
of FWO events during the 5th Anniv. weekend; the former is an on-going
list for events, get-togethers, items of interest, etc, mostly in the

| 32.169 | Walk Against domestic Violence On June 23rd @ 10AM | TOOK::SANKAR | Arundhati Sankar | Sun Jun 16 1991 16:08 | 112 |
| WALK AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
This Walk on June 23rd will help raise money for The Women's Resource Center
which serves battered women and their children in an area that extends
from Andover, Mass., to Salem, NH., and from Lawrence to Rowley.
The length of the walk is five miles. Walk is takes you around historic
site of Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Rgistration between 8:30 & 9:30 on Sunday June 23rd 1990
The walk begins at 10 a.m.
There will be a rally at 12 noon.
Justine Sullivan will be performing at the rally.
This 5 mile walk starts and ends in Pemberton State Park.
Dirtection to Pemberton Park:
Take Rt 495 towards Lawrence.
Take exit for Rt 114 west ( towards Lawrence)
Union St crosses Rt 114 at an angle. Make sure you stay
on Rt 114.
You will come to a bridge. This bridge is built across
Merrimack River, a narrow island and a canal.
Pemberton Park is on this narrow island. 3/4 way over the
bridge you will see a road on the left. Take this road,
you will be in the parking lot adjoining the Park.
If you don't wish to walk, or don't live in the area, perhaps you would
think about sponsoring a walker such as myself.
Arun.
--------- More Information about the Walk ---------------
THE QUIET EPIDEMIC
Domestic violence is the most under-reported crime in the United
States today. The statistics are chilling:
-- The FBI estimates that one of every two women in the United States will be
physically abused at some point in their lives by the men with whom they
live. That's right... fully 50% of the women in the U.S.
-- As many as 4,000 women die every year in the United States as a result of
battering.
-- In Massachusetts alone, on average one woman dies every 18 days because of
battering.
-- Last year, the Massachusetts Coalition of Battered Women's Service Groups
received more than 62,000 hotline calls.
-- In 1989, the District Court in Lawrence alone received more than 1,000
applications for protective orders.
There is no simple answer to what causes domestic violence. But, with
your help, much needed funds can be raised to support domestic violence
programs.
HOW CAN YOU HELP? IT'S EASY!
On Sunday morning, June 23rd, the Women's Resource Center will sponsor
the Walk Against Violence, a five-mile walk-a-thon through Lawrence.
You may check in between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. June 23rd at the Women's
Resource Center, 454 North Canal St., Lawrence. The day's agenda includes a
rally after the walk to educate the community on the effects of domestic
violence. Stretching and aerobic warm-ups begin at 10:00 a.m. The
walk-a-thon steps off at 10:15 a.m. And, a fair-like celebration is planned
for after the walk.
The walk-a-thon's route through the city holds special significance for
women because it passes the old textile mills which women and children toiled
during Lawrence's heyday.
THE WOMEN'S RESOURCE CENTER
The women's Resource Center, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization
that provides services to battered women and their children in the Greater
Lawrence/Haverhill area. The center has a staff of 10 and is supplemented by
more than 75 volunteers.
Services provided by the center include:
-- Sheltering services for up to 15 women and their children;
-- A 24-hour crisis intervention hotline;
-- Legal advocacy to help women with legal services;
-- Counseling and support groups for the victims;
-- Community outreach and education;
-- Information referral;
-- All services are available in English or Spanish;
-- Culturally specific rape program for Latino women.
The Women's Resource Center has been in operation since 1977. The
center has offices in Lawrence and Haverhill and supports battered women and
their children in an area that extends from Andover, Mass., to Salem, NH., and
from Lawrence to Rowley.

"Hey, ever'body, I'm Brother Blue, a street cat calling' you!" caries a
tall man dressed like a Christmas tree. Tambourines and bells
jangling, he leaps into the air, spins around and plucks off one of the
ribbons dangling from his airs and legs...With a grin, he stoops and
presents the gift to a bewildered little girl... "Come close! Let me
touch your pretty nose. Can I tickle your toes? I want to tell you
about rainbows."
Beneath the bizarre costume and kinetic showmanship, the bard who for
20 years has roamed the streets of the Boston area calling himself
Brother Blue is Dr. Hugh Morgan Hill, a Union Institute (Cincinnati)
Ph.D, who has made it his mission to revive what for him is a dying art
- human communication....
Storytelling, Blue discovered, easily surpassed lectures as a vehicle
for communicating with people of all backgrounds. Performed correctly,
stories can be a way of teaching, and even healing emotional scars...In
a hip-to-be-cynical urban environment, Blue spins tales about
brotherhood, kindness and self worth...When he looks into your eyes and
says he tells stories to "change the world" somehow you buy it...
"My belief is that if enough people tell these stories from the heart,
you can influence human awareness on some level. Storytelling can
overcome the differences that divide people..."

Hampshire will be on PBS (channel 11) tomorrow night (July 4) at 9:30.
I think it's about a half hour, if you want to set your VCR.
I saw the premier showing of this video and recommend it highly.
Marilla had a wonderful wit and an interesting life. She was the first
woman lawyer, and the first woman to run for Governor of NH. Some of
the quotes in the video are worth it alone. She was very irreverent
and amusing. For example, she asked what must heaven be like if God
had to come to earth to obtain his only child.
Brought to you by the NH Humanities Council, NH NOW, and a bunch of

August 22 - August 25, 1991
********************************************************************************
NAMING, CLAIMING AND CELEBRATING OUR DIVERSITY
********************************************************************************
There is more diversity among us than we often recognize. In addition to more
obvious differences of age, ethnicity, and race, there is variation in class
background, health status, education, physical size, etc. These differences
sometimes leave us feeling isolated or misunderstood. They can also enrich and
challenge us. During the weekend, we will endeavor to let go of some of the
assumptions of who we are so that we may get to know each other and the Spirit
more fully. Workshops related to this theme are especially encouraged.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
The annual Quaker Lesbian Conference is a time for spiritual renewal,
worship and sharing. This is a wonderful time to gather with other like-minded
Quaker women to share in Meeting for Worship, support concerns, excitement and
fun. Program usually includes daily Meeting for Worship, worship sharing,
interest groups and workshops, and evening fun (games, folk and Contra dancing,
story telling, singing, poetry reading, etc..). Please think about workshops
you would like to plan and lead, or ones you would like to see offered, and
include them with your registration.
COST:
We want women to be able to attend QLZ. Sliding scale for the
conference is $70 - $95. The cost for children will be pro-rated. women are
encouraged to seek scholarship from your Meeting, yearly Meeting, or women's
group. If you need financial help or can pay only part of the fee, let us know
EARLY.
REGISTRATION:
Registration fee is $30/adult, $10/per child.
Send deposit and self addressed stamped envelope to:
Polly Atwood
159 Hancock St.
Cambridge, MA 02139
Please register early, by 7/28 at the latest.
There are cabins, or you can bring a tent.
Vegetarian meals are available - please indicate that you wish
vegetarian meals on your registration.

What: When Someone You Know Is Gay: A Panel Discussion
When: Thursday July 25, 1991 11:45 to 12:45
Where: LMO2 Room 144A (Andaman Conference Room)
How would you feel if you learned that someone close to you - a son or
a daughter, a relative, a good friend, a coworker - was gay? What would
you do, or say? More and more of us have had, or will have, this
experience, as gays, lesbians and bisexuals continue to "come out of
the closet."
The AITC VoD Task Force is pleased to present a panel discussion titled
"When Someone You Know is Gay." The panelists, former and current DEC
employees, will share with us their experiences when they discovered
someone close to them who is lesbian, gay or bisexual.
We believe you will find their experiences, and the changes they went
through engaging, moving, and encouraging.

ACCESS: A Learning Experience
Did you ever wonder how a physically challenged person goes camping? Or
wonder if its polite to look at a person's wheelchair? What does it
feel like to be physically challenged? Do people with physical
challenges go to the doctors more than able bodied people? Is it OK to
"help" a person in a wheelchair?
This workshop will allow participants the opportunity to candidly speak
with several challenged Digital professionals and obtain answers to all
the questions people are "afraid to ask". A segment of the workshop
will allow employees to experience what it is liken to be in a
wheelchair or have a challenge which limits mobility.
Come and learn and help Digital dispel misconceptions about the
abilities of employees and customers with physical challenges.

Clinton Fish & Game, I will be co-teaching with Nancy Bittle(of AWARE fame)
If anyone is interested send mail for details to RANGER::BITTLE or
MPGS::HAMBURGER.
There is room for about 6 more students.(we keep it small for personalized
time with each student).
Next course will be Nov 16 1991
We also include a little shooting time in the course and the graduates get the
NRA card that some police chiefs like to see before granting FID's or LTC's.
The course covers;
1) Ammunition types/history
2) firearm familiarization (handguns and long-arms)
3) Firearm related laws.
4) safe handling, storage, and transportation.
5) Children and guns (you cannot child proof every gun but you can gun-proof
your children with easy safety rules)
6) students get to fire 2 or 3 different handguns and a .22 rifle.
The course starts at 9:00am, runs till about 3:pm
We provide lunch, ammunition, and coffee.
We ask that students inform us in advance if they wish to bring their
own firearm, they may or may not get to shoot their own as coach/instructor
time may be limited.

I'm playing at a fundraiser for Rosaria Salerno on Sunday, Sept. 22
at Crones' Harvest in JP. Rosaria is running for re-election to
Boston City Council.
From a letter the campaign is sending out:
Rosaria Salerno is seeking her third term as a City-Wide
City Councilor. ... As a Councilor, Rosaria has been an
outspoken advocate for women, children, and the elderly.
She has established one of the most progressive records on
the Council and has been a stalwart defender of the environment.
I have directions to Crones' if folks are interested in coming down
to Boston for this. There's a chance that Evelyn Murphy will be there
(We had a wonderful fundraiser for her last year, and she's really
hoping to come back to Crones' to sho her appreciation), but that is not
definite. Please send me mail if you'd like more information.

| Light Up Your Life...And Someone Else's Too!
DEC Appreciation Night and AIDS Benefit at New Horizons
Monday, October 28th, 1991 5:00 - 10:00PM
"Who is this Randy person anyway?"
"Why do these people all keep talking about this hair styling
place - what's the big deal?"
...
You've heard some of us go on and on about Randy and the New
Horizons Hair Salon. Well, in order to show appreciation for
their DEC customers, we're setting up an appreciation night and
fund raiser all in one! On Monday night, Oct. 28th, the shop will
be closed to all but DEC people and their friends. It'll be a
party, a benefit, a social event not to be missed! Come get your
hair cut, see who else you know goes to New Horizons, or just come
in and see what all the fuss is about! There'll be wine and
cheese and people to talk to. Thinking about trying a new
hairstyle, but not sure? Come in and talk to one of the stylists
and see what they think! No appointments necessary. (If you don't
need or want to get your haircut - come anyway!)
All proceeds from this evening will go to AIDS Action Committee.
In addition, for only $5 more than the price of a haircut, get a
highlight! Try a little, try a lot - whatever you want.
If this sounds odd...well, New Horizons is an unusual place.
It's a lot of fun and a good place to get your hair done! Come in
and see for yourself, if you don't already know!
Mark your calendars now! (It's a ways away, so you should be
able to schedule accordingly! :^) )
New Horizons is located in Marlboro, MA at the intersection of
Elm Street and Pleasant Street, in the Pleasant Plaza. (It's across
from the Marlboro Girl's Club.)
Take 495 to the Rte. 20 East exit. At the end of the ramp, you
are deposited onto Rte. 20. Follow it around the lake and up the
small hill, curves to the right a bit and levels out and begins a slow
descent. Pass the library on the left. The next intersection with a
light is Pleasant Street. St. Mary's Credit union is on the left. Go
left. There is another intersection with a traffic light (Lincoln St.);
pass through. New Horizons is on the left at the next intersection,
which has a light. The shop is on the right end.

Fred Small will be appearing at the Old Vienna Kaffehaus... soon.
I don't remember the date and can't even provide you with the phone
number to call because it's not listed in either of the phone books
I have (Marlborough/Concord and Fitchburg/Leominster/Clinton). The
OVK is in Westborough; if you have dinner there before a concert,
they'll save a table for you (for the concert). I think he'll be
there Oct 4.

| Flying Fish recording artist Cathy Winter sings contemporary
songs ranging from the political to the lighthearted at the Fresh
Ground Coffeehouse this Saturday, September 28. Winter's strong stage
presence is marked by an earthy style and intimate humor. Sheila Butcher

The Fresh Ground Coffeehouse is located at The First Unitarian Society,
66 Elm Street (near the Big Chair), in Gardner, Massachusetts. Admission
is $7 at the door.
From Albany, New York, Winter has travelled the folk scene for
the last dozen or so years. She has performed around the U.S. and Canada,
including area Folk Tree concerts, the Michigan Women's Music Festival,

the NAIRD award finalist "Travelling Home."

| Seeing that I will be staying at my daughters in Ashland next week,
and her apartment is big enough to hold at least 20 people.
And seeing that it is Lorna's birthday on Thursday,
I thought I would have a pot luck in her honor.
If you are interested send me mail and I will put you on the
distribution list for the directions.
Lorna knows about the gathering...but I am not telling her who is
going...there has to be some surprise. ;-)
