February Update - Lots of Exciting Stuff Coming Up!

It's been a while since I've written any updates, and I don't want to give the feeling that the ball has been dropped. I'm personally very busy working with the Census full-time, but I'm renewing my commitment to work towards building this community at least one evening a week. We've got a lot going on and I want to make sure y'all are in the loop.

I want to thank everyone who helped make the GA fundraiser happen - we did make it nearly three-fourths of the way towards our goal, and I am confident that we will bridge the gap. I put down the deposit on the space at GA and we are well on our way to Minneapolis this summer!

We're looking for folks who are interested in living in community together in the San Francisco Bay. I already have my eyes on a couple folks who are looking for housing this summer and fall, but if we haven't spoken yet, holler at me and I'll give you a call soon.

In addition, We're planning a really fun Mini-Conference for the last Sunday of March - we're going to be joining the Ecstatic Dance gathering in Oakland, and going to the Gamelan X Kecak Workshop. In between we're opening sort of an experimental space in conjunction with the Oakland Moishe House. We're looking for ideas for what to do with the afternoon - workshops, worships, anything! Please contact Kelsey to get involved with planning the March Mini-Con.

There will definitely be GA-planning, house-planning, and possibly mini-con planning calls coming up in the near future. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this community can create! Please let me know if you are interested in getting involved in event planning!
