Christmas in spirit of joy and appreciation and therefore welcome to any denomination.
We haven’t gotten a lot of interested feedback in collecting food for food drives so we discussed the option of getting to know everyone more instead and we’d like to suggest a Christmas eve pot luck and invite everyone. We also need input on ideas on where to meet but here is what we have in mind so far:
- We’re looking at outdoor options (Like Front Street Park, the Park on Florida Ave, etc) with indoor options nearby if we need to duck into some place warm. We’ve been checking weather reports and patterns and will continue to do so to have a location by next GA. If you have a suggestion, please let us know! Occupymelbournefl+da@gmail.com
- The idea would be that everyone can bring a dish(es) to share with everyone else and we can swap stories and experiences over a shared meal we all helped to prepare.
- We want this to be like an Occupy Family event but not to have any specific agenda for the gathering except to appreciate one another and the food we have to eat. If we want to and end up talking about Occupy, that’s awesome. If we just tell stories about our lives or converse about our other hobbies and passions in life that’s great too.
(as a semi-related side-note, the image above (painted by me) is available as a post card for $1.00 ea from me (Mandy Elliott -me4occupy@aol.com), proceeds of which go to Occupy Melbourne to fund what ever we need from printing of brochures and business cards to helping to reimburse for gas of carpoolers, etc.)
