[BES Friends] Coming Attractions

[Stephen Meskin]

*Change: The August Board meeting will be held on Saturday Aug 16 at 4 
pm at the end of a full day retreat beginning at 10 am.  Members 
welcome.  Check with a Board member for the location, if you wish to 
attend either.

*Jul 27: "Visit to Planned Parenthood (one block away)"  John Nugent  We 
go on a short distance field trip around the corner to 330 N. Howard St. 
where our discussion will be held after a tour of the facility. Planned 
Parenthood is one block south of the Society on the NW corner of Howard 
& Mulberry St. On street parking is available on Mulberry St as well as 
Franklin.

    *Sat Aug 2, 7 pm  1st Saturday Coffee House*  . Poetry . Music .
    Refreshments . Open Mic . Free (donation appreciated)    *Karen
    Elliott* recently returned from Peru, where she met Barry Drew (see
    below) - who lives about a mile and a half from her.  It's a
    Baltimore thing. Karen's work has been published in Poets Ink and
    Manorborn, and once upon a time she did technical and food writing
    professionally. She gives poetry workshops for children from Pre-K
    through grade 6 and works as an Information Systems consultant to
    pay the bills for herself, her son who is at Cal Berkeley, five
    cats, and one snake.

    Musician *Barry Drew* is a 25 year resident of Northeast Baltimore,
    and a guitarist, singer, and massage therapist, Barry has always
    conveyed his love and passion for music and words through the
    heart-felt expression of his performance. Barry plays and sings
    acoustic songs from the periods of the '60s, '70s, and '80s, which
    he feels have much meaning to this day. During the '80s and '90s,
    Barry played the Baltimore and Annapolis circuit in places like the
    Annapolis Hilton, Kent Moore Harbor, The Wine Cellar at Painters
    Mill and spots all around Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Barry took time
    off to be with his wife and raise a family, but now he is ready to
    get back in front of the audience and once again share his passion
    with others.

    *Sun Aug 3, 10:30 am - noon Movable Treats *   Please continue to
    support this project, which gets excellent reviews from the folks at
    Moveable Feast who prepare and deliver meals to homebound AIDS and
    cancer patients and their families in the greater Baltimore area.
    Once again, here are our guidelines: 1) Bring your desserts with you
    to our meeting and place them on the table in the corner of our
    meeting room. 2) If possible, use sandwich bags to wrap cupcakes,
    brownies, cake slices, and sweet breads in single servings and label
    what they are (in general, not a list of ingredients). 3) Mark your
    desserts if they include nuts or peanuts. 4) Avoid desserts that
    contain alcohol and desserts with thick icings.


Aug 3: "A Brief History of Disbelief -- The Final Hour" The history of 
disbelief continues with the ideas of self-taught philosopher Thomas 
Paine, the revolutionary studies of geology, the evolutionary theories 
of Darwin, and Freud's view that religion is a "thought disorder." 
Miller examines his own motivation behind making the series.
