Circle entrance, on Parkside Ave just north of Route 198. You can only enter

Wednesday, August 13, Buffalo, next
Organizers' Network Planning Meeting,
7:30 PM, Rust
Belt Books, 202 Allen, near but West of Elmwood, at

projects of common interest. The group has organized successful

individual initiatives in the name of our common progressive interests.
Our general interest is in fostering collaboration for greater effectiveness

progressive organizer and are willing to leave ideology and dogma at the
door, please feel free to join us. We find strength not just in
numbers but also in good company and solidarity. Call 698-1232
