A small group gathered at Mike Brower’s house in the evening of May 31st to discuss upcoming events and other topics.

Attending was Mike Brower, Stan Morse, Andrew Oswald (AKA Ozz), Nick Peterson and Joel Hariton.

There was discussion of how we can perhaps stoke up participation in events by focusing on certain decades for certain events. The general feeling was to encourage Antiochians interested in attending an event to recruit other Antioch friends to join in by suggesting so in the announcements.

Events

Next week, Thursday June 9th, the play “Silver Spoon” will be performed at the Central Square Theater. Antiochians get 1/2 price tickets for only $25 when they use the discount code “Antioch 25″ when buying the tickets. Nick will send out an announcement to the entire e-mail list shortly.

Also in June, the reunion in Yellow Springs will occur from the 16th to the 19th. Mike, Stan and Joel will attend, and Ozz will try to get there. Roy Crystal had previously expressed interest in attending as well.

In July, Barbara Wallraff will pick a Saturday outside of July 4th weekend and we will have an event at the Saugus Iron Works. This will include a tour and a report from the people who attended the Reunion.

In August, Ozz will repeat his Antioch Alumni Summer Pool party. Tentative date is August 20th, in the evening.

In September, we plan to have Dave Sherman back to talk about goats from a vetenary viewpoint.

For October we will investigate a talk from a sustainability expert on food production issues such as how large scale farming affects climate change and vice versa. Joel will see if any Antiochians work for the Union of Concerned Scientists, for a start.

Mike suggested we consider how to recruit students and locate opportunities for co-ops in the area. We decided that this would be something we would ask attendees at events to think about but not take action until training and direction comes from Antioch.

Stan suggested he could give a talk on Eskimo perceptions of social change as part of a larger program.

Brainstorming is needed on how to use the attendance lists from recent events to leverage the information better.

Respectfully submitted,
