 "Section" review

 4) Community Profile
 Study Circles- John Wason will pen something posthaste
 after solicited article prove unsatisfactory.
 Sidebar Diversity Training piece (Shelley?)

 5)Media
 Gladys Hunt had medical problems and was not able to
 write media and African-American images.
 Brent (who was at work at the time of the meeting)
 spoke of writng about Hong Kong/Hollywood Film
 Industry with emphasis on global conglomeration. At
 the meeting, I (PFM) spoke of soliciting a media
 analysis article that would not be so easily covered
 in Art.
 Not likely that could be done for this issue.

 6)Gummint
 IMF-World Bank Dave Madden is to write short piece
 about the s30 demo. He recommend a Q&A from
 globalexchange.org, could be excerpted for
 sidebar/companion piece

 about soon to be controversial sculpture (Homage to
 Jocelyn Elders) in Meadowbrook Park.

 7) Environment

 8) Art- for its own sake,(what's Yikes doing over
 there in gummint?)
  Newspoetry and Collages
 John Wason spoke of a article about former, edited
 from wilgill's web writings. "It'll write itself"

 <<<After the meeting>>>
 Shelley retyped a second draft of Bubblehead and
 reposted after the meeting

 Brent asked Rose Marshack to write an article about
 the "pop" music as art and industry. He suggested that
 it would be a 3 part series. I have the same misgiving
 as expressed above about calling this a "Media" piece,
 though I very much want to read this series.
 
<<Lindsay wrote that she was meeting the author of the
 Alloy Casting article and that she could also
 "pull together an article on the Black Beauty Coal
 Mine or another local environmental subject".
 Could soneone ask that htis article/draft be posted to
