Hopework-l Mailing List: Feb. 4 folk school lunch

[John Wallace (walla003]

February 1, 2004

To:    Folk School folks

From: John Wallace

Invitation to:  Folk School lunch at John Wallace's office, this coming
Wednesday, February 4, 11:30 to 1:00

The purpose of these weekly lunch meetings is to dig into Gandhi's
saying, "You must be the change you seek in the world."  They are open,
rolling conversations happening throughout this academic year, where
people are free to come when they can, and come at any time between
11:30 and 1:00.

You are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch. Juice and cookies will be
available.

The next folk school retreat, February 6-8, will swing around the theme
of seeking a graceful world, and accordingly next Wednesday lunch will
explore the idea of being open to grace.

My office is 868 Heller Hall, on the U of MN West Bank campus.  Close
to Wilson Library and the Humphrey Institute.

I want to give a heads-up about a change in the format of these lunch
meetings, beginning on February 11 and going on for 4 weeks or so.
Myles Horton and his colleagues at the Highlander Folk School found
creative ways of supporting people in being the social, economic, and
racial justice changes they sought. Beginning on February 11 we will
use the lunches to watch and discuss two videos about Highlander's
work Lucy Phenix's You Got to Move and Bill Moyers
Adventures of a Radical Hillbilly
