For a long time now, Worcester has needed an<br />announcement list to facilitate and support the work many of us are doing. We<br />need a tool that helps new faces and new participants to quickly learn what is<br />happening here and how they can become more active.<br /><br />To subscribe to WORCESTER-ANNOUNCE, just send a reply to this email. You don't<br />need to add any text in your reply. You can also open up<br />http://lists.riseup.net/www/subrequest/worcester-announce in a web browser and<br />enter your email address in that page. If you have any problems, email<br />ben.dean.kawamura@gmail.com for help.<br /><br />The WORCESTER-ANNOUNCE list will have several local moderators who will<br />facilitate use of the list. This is not a discussion list. Only announcements<br />of interest to local progressives will be approved for distribution, and the<br />number of emails sent each week be significantly limited. WE DON'T WANT 8<br />zillion emails either !<br /><br />So that's the plan ........<br /><br />Less SPAM! Less Quadruplimultiplication of the same announcement! More real<br />info! More ACTION! A more united and stronger progressive community in the<br />Worcester area.<br /><br />Questions ?? -- Email ben.dean-kawamura@gmail.com1carl@carlweaver.com (Carl Weaver)http://worcesterdiaries.blogspot.com/2006/08/weirdness-at-big-y.htmlSat, 26 Aug 2006 11:13:00 -0700tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20667310.post-115661622337119110Many thanks to Worcester's own <a href="http://lostinworcester.blogspot.com/" target="_new">Jim O'Connell</a> for sending this in!<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e3IO-nI9es"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1e3IO-nI9es" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425"></object>0carl@carlweaver.com (Carl Weaver)http://worcesterdiaries.blogspot.com/2006/06/bruce-turns-50.htmlWed, 21 Jun 2006 20:48:00 -0700tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20667310.post-115094837689859474Worcester's own <a href="http://www.pieandcoffee.org/" target="_blank">Mike Benedetti</a> sent me a link to his blog post and said I could repost it here.

I decided to revlog it since it deals with Worcester and some of the personal and social issues young people face. The issues are serious and hard to grapple with, but I think there is always hope. Touching the life of one person is like planting a seed of possibilities. What grows from the seed depends on how it is nurtured.<br /></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://fauxpress.blogspot.com/2005/10/road-node-meditation-on-logic-with.html" target="_blank">Here is the original post Jan made.</a><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Thanks, Jan, for blessing us with your presence and giving us all hope!<br /></p> <div style="text-align: left;">Techhonrati tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Worcester+Diaries" rel="tag" target="_blank">Worcester Diaries</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/GED" rel="tag" target="_blank">GED</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/youth" rel="tag" target="_blank">youth</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social+issues" rel="tag" target="_blank">social issues</a><br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"><br /><a href="http://www.dropcash.com/campaign/carlweaver/pay_a_video_blogger/" rel="payment" title="Make a donation" target="_blank">Help support a video blogger</a><br /></div> </center>0carl@carlweaver.com (Carl Weaver)
