FALL 2009 

“Whenever we dumb down the political debate, we lose.” 

 

-Barack Obama

Be the Change Baederwood has  many things to be proud of this quarter. Our Job Seekers Forum in August drew great speakers and great job seekers. In our meetings we have in depth discussions on pressing topics  from Health Care Reform to local issues. Organizing canvassing and phone banking.  We are making a place for Time Banking and urging members to make use of timely opportunities to  Meet the Candidates and communicate with our elected officials by spreading the word through email bulletins. 

We support our members. We pay attention to and promote concerns like Nate Kleinman’s two-week fast in solidarity with the non-violent resistance in Honduras. We volunteered at the Elkins Estate. We helped to fundraise for a family who has illness and lost insurance.

MONTHLY MEETINGS 

Fourth Wednesday of every month

There are opportunities over the next few weeks to volunteer in local activities.

1. The Elkins Estate needs books for their library, preferably about health and wellness, but other books would be appreciated also.  Please visit the Elkins Estate to drop off your donation.  They also need volunteers to make their Grand Opening Event a success.  If you would like to help, please call Ms. Pappas at (215) 782-8520 or visit their website: http://www.elkinsestate.org
2. The Abington Food Bank is in need. The Food Cupboard is located in Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church (2086 Parkview Avenue (at the corner with Lycoming Avenue), Abington, PA 19001), and their normal hours of operation are Monday– 
   Friday, 11:30AM–3:30PM. They don't really have a phone number since all requests go centrally through the Interfaith Housing Alliance (or Interfaith Food Cupboard, or whatever their current name is; I know they're located in Ambler), but the person who manages the Abington Food Cupboard is Rebecca Kelly (beckphoto2002@yahoo.com)
