Women's Potluck

Submitted by listening on Sat, 12/30/2006 - 5:25pm.

Start: Jan 7 2006 - 6:30pm

Olympia Free School - 610 Columbia Street
Sunday, Jan. 7th

6:30pm Potluck & Discussion, 7:30pm Meeting

This women's and female-identified space offers an opportunity for us to support one in our community. We strive to create a safe place to learn about issues specific to women's needs.

We will be discussing internalized sexism during the potluck. In the meeting we can share about projects we are working on, strategize about difficulties we are facing, and share our skills as solutions.

Community projects and events focusing on women's issues include International Women's Day Week at Evergreen (March 6 - 10) - http://www.evergreen.edu/scripts/we4.0/webevent.pl , Suzanne Swift - www.suzanneswift.org, Plan B Olympia - www.planboly.org, counter-protest to the antichoice rally (Jan. 22), and much more.

For women who want to find out more about the monthly potlucks and women's work in the community please sign up to The Olympia Feminist Network at olyfeminist-subscribe@lists.riseup.net

Bring food to share and plates, silverware and cups.

Help us make this a welcome space by keeping it a fragrance-free enviroment.

Of course, childcare will be provided. Please let us know before hand to help accomodate your needs.

If you have questions, comments or concerns please email ammurano@gmail.com or call (360)485-5745.

I am really looking forward to this

I am really looking forward to this, mostly because I find the topic of internalized sexism among feminists to be fascinating. But I'm also looking forward to it because the food at the women's potlucks has been so good! (Is it sexist of me to think that women generally bring better food to potlucks?)

Well, that certainly

Well, that certainly wouldn't apply to my marriage.

He makes homemade tamales, spanikopita, fried chicken, etc. I'm a chips and salsa bringer. Sometimes if I think I can get away with it, I'll bring nothing. Does that make me butch? ;-)

Not butch, necessarily, just lucky

But the food at these potlucks really is especially good.... You should come, Jade, and taste it for yourself.
