[Peace] AWARE Highlights

[carol inskeep]

We had a small, efficient meeting in our new IMC space.  Lisa was the facilitator, and about a dozen folks attended.  Here's some of the high points - corrections welcome.  Durl will be our facilitator next week.
 
News of the Week - posted separately by Carl; those who missed the News from Neptune interview with Mohammad al-Heeti may want to take a listen at www.newsfromneptune.com.  Sadly, Mohammad was notified just after the radio show that his mother passed away, and AWARE agreed to send a card and possibly flowers or a donation to an organization of the family's choice; Carol will check with Roaa to see what might be appropriate.
 
IMC Update - Mike Lehmann stopped by to give us an update and to urge AWARE folks to get involved, possibly by attending the Space Meeting on Wednesday evenings at 8pm at the IMC.  He gave tours around the new building after the AWARE meeting ended.
 
David agreed to take on the responsiblity of doing weekly agendas for awhile.  
 
Farmer's Market is going smoothly.  We took in about $70 on Saturday.  David will email the list if we need more help next week.  As of the meeting time, he was still searching for someone who might repair the AWARE canopy...
