RED HOOK COMMUNITY FARM NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!!!

It's a great place to be! I've done cooking demo's there as a vegan chef with produce that the kids picked right out of their Red Hook garden - lots of fun! Dree

From their e-mail message to me;

Come out to the Red Hook Community Farm tomorrow, Saturday July 8th, to
celebrate the opening of our Farmers' Market!  

The farm is bountiful and green, and there will be plenty of fruits and
vegetables!  We'll also have music, games and face-painting, baked goods from
the Lower East Side Girls Club, and lots of farming to help with.

Want to volunteer?
We're looking for some good folks to help us set up for the big day, starting at
8:00 AM tomorrow.  Early risers, come join us!

Additionally, we need some help today (Friday) picking up sound equipment. If
you are free this afternoon and have a driver's license, call Ian at (718)
855-5531.

* As always, directions and information are available at www.added-value.org

See you tomorrow!

Tibet House U.S. Library Help!

Tibet House is dedicated to the proposition that the wisdom and arts of all human civilizations vitally enrich the emerging global culture. Within this, we focus on a special concern for Tibet, its people, its spectacular highlands, and its civilization of extraordinary wisdom and beauty. Tibet's vast high plateau is the size of the United States west of the Mississippi. Its mountain snows give rise to Asia's greatest rivers, sustaining the lives of 40% of humanity. The hidden heart of Asia, it has served during the last thousand years of invasion as the treasury of Asia's most sophisticated spiritual arts and sciences. Yet its precious Buddhist civilization of wisdom, compassion, peace, and harmony is under a real threat of imminent extinction. By presenting Tibetan civilization, its profound wisdom and special art of freedom, to the people of the world, we hope to inspire them to join the effort to save it. Tibet House New York is part of a worldwide network of Tibetan institutions committed to ensuring that the light of the Tibetan spirit never disappears from the face of the earth.

The Work of Tibet House US Is:

• To present to the West Tibet's ancient traditions of art and culture by means of creating a permanent Cultural Center, with Gallery, Library, and Archives, and developing traveling exhibitions, print publications and media productions;
• To preserve and restore Tibet's unique cultural and spiritual heritage, by means of developing a Repatriation Collection for future repatriation of outstanding examples of Tibetan art, creating an archive of rare photographs, opening a research library, making a Web site on the Internet for the wide distribution of information, and providing support to conservation activities both inside and outside of Tibet;
• To share with the world Tibet's practical systems of spiritual philosophy and mind sciences, and its arts of human development, intercultural dialogues, nonviolence, and peacemaking, by means of innovative programs in cooperation with educational and other cultural institutions.
