Sunday, April 6: MOVEABLE TREATS
Please bring your dessert contributions with you and place them on the 
table in the corner of our meeting room. And remember that there's a box 
for canned and dry good contributions for Moveable Feast near the 
bulletin board in our entrance area. We're accepting these contributions 
every Sunday.
Dessert Guidelines:
1) Use sandwich bags or snack bags to wrap your desserts in serving-size 
portions and label them to indicate generally what they are.
2) Mark your desserts if they contain nuts or peanuts.
3) Avoid desserts with heavy icings or containing alcohol.

No rhyming required! Bring poems that move you or that you have written 
to share and discuss. Each meeting we look at poems that loosely relate 
to a specific topic, announced ahead of time via e-mail. Facilitated the 
first Sunday by Karla, BES' "poet in residence", and the third Sunday by 
Kirk Mullen. Want to join in? Contact poet at BaltimoreEthicalSociety.org

April 6 at 10 am: "Forces of Destruction"
FRITZ WILLIAMS, Leader Emeritus, Baltimore Ethical Society 
People are generally unhappy with the Bush administration. Liberals 
decry the belligerent go-it-alone foreign policy, the invasion of Iraq 
on false pretenses, the tax reductions that benefit mostly the rich, the 
erosion of personal privacy. Conservatives complain about the inept 
conduct of the war and overall fiscal irresponsibility. But it's a 
mistake to focus almost exclusively on George W. Bush and the neo-cons. 
Bush is the culmination of a movement driven by powerful business 
interests which has been restructuring American society for about 40 
years. Fritz Williams examines this movement and the disastrous 
consequences of the policies it has promoted.

Fritz Williams serves as primary speaker, teacher, and pastor. Fritz 
also performs weddings and commitment ceremonies. He has worked as a 
parish priest in the Episcopal church, and as a writer and producer at 
public TV stations in Harrisburg, PA, and Detroit, MI.
