Forest BB

hello, mondays are cleaning days. the cafe is not open until 3pm. you can come and help clean (like we're doing today - so satisfying...) and have free teas and coffees for your efforts. if you are actually coming in because you need something to eat, you should sign up for a shift, or volunteer for...

ok so:
there's a bit missing here about what's ok in terms of behaviour and what's not ok and volunteer rights etc. insert "safer spaces policy" here. oh wait, we haven't got one yet.

thanks for the input! so, james or others: can you give more of the information you suggested? eg. how do you actually get in touch with the film people? where are the library stickers? do you really think I should put info about consensus decision making? this guide is supposed to just be an introd...

will FNB be anywhere near the antimilitarist gathering?

We need info on lost property process, the shiny new colour coded cleaning stuff, and health & safety, any other info that Forest needs to put in for legal reasons at this point there is a lot of introductory info about the Forest.

and tell me & Emi really soon

thanks

not to dim your enthusiasm, but Rosa Parks wasn't the first, as it states in the wikipedia article you linked to, also it's often overlooked that Rosa Parks wasn't just any woman on the bus who just "got fed up", she was well involved with the civil rights movement before the bus boycott. she defini...

So, at the artists & facilities meeting just now, and last night at the cafe/events meeting we talked about better orientation/introduction for new volunteers. Whoa! there's so much information and so much to find out about the forest, like: "what the hell is the cave and who can I give the key to" ...
