[Bookstoprisoners] Sunday work hours and school for designing a society

[Niloofar Shambayati]

Hello All,

April &  Barbara, thanks so much for the offer of sharing the 
responsibility.   Jamie is interested too and I'm really excited about the 
prospect of it working.  Since it is going to be on a trial basis, we can be 
flexible. I suggest starting at noon and wrapping it up by 3. If it doesn't 
work, we'll try a different schedule.  Deb, it would be great if you could 
make a sign to invite visitors to tour our workplace and to volunteer during 
our work hours.  I'll take care of the calendar on our website.

On a related note, School for Designing a Society is becoming our new 
neighbor and its members can be great partners to us.  They're planning to 
have some evening gatherings of performing arts to inaugurate their move to 
their new home.  I spoke with Danielle and she said that they might be able 
to coordinate these cultural activities with us to coincide with our two 
late night book sales. What does everyone think about this possibility? 
April, if the key staff is in agreement,  would you like me to look into 
this?
