George Lakey is a longtime Friend and activist.
His newest book is HOW WE WIN: A Guide to Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigning with a release date of November 2018. The Bay area is one of the first stops on his book tour; Strawberry Creek Monthly Meeting will be hosting a book talk tonight, Friday, November 30, at 7:15 PM, at Berkeley Meetinghouse (corner of Walnut and Vine, enter on Vine Street).
Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting regards George Lakey’s book tour as part of his ministry for nonviolence. He will share with us his understanding of how Quakers through the centuries revealed the power of direct action campaigning, and how that relates to today’s national crisis-time.
Contact Shelley Tanenbaum with questions.
Saturday, December 1, 6 PM. Join us for dinner with Micah at Nong Thon Restaurant in El Cerrito, 10086 San Pablo Ave. El Cerrito. This is a spacious, family-friendly restaurant. Young children are welcome! The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. No need to RSVP – just come. It’s 3.5 short blocks from El Cerrito Plaza BART station and on the 72 bus line – San Pablo Ave. Park on San Pablo north of Central Ave. or at Burger King.
Micah’s visit here (Fri, Nov 30 – Fri, Dec. 7) is for job interviews and to conduct a housing search but he is also eager to make time for meet ups with us, especially with those he has met only briefly or not at all. Are you available to get together with Micah? Please let Tomi know!
Sunday, December 2 Micah will share a message at Meeting for Worship. We hope you can join us!

The Berkeley Food Pantry has been chosen to be a recipient of Safeway’s Holiday Feed the Need Campaign, which will run until December 25.

If you would like to help the Berkeley Food Pantry, please visit one of the Safeway Community Markets either at 1850 Solano Ave. or at 1550 Shattuck Ave. and purchase a hunger bag at the check-out stand for a suggested donation of $1, $5, or $10.
