Last week, Karen led the group through Point Breeze, Homewood Cemetery and Frick Park. Until Daylight Savings happens next weekend (Nov. 1), it's still quite dark until about 7:30, so the neighborhood streets and community gardens were welcoming until it was light enough to enter the park.
At coffee, numerous conversations were overheard, so I will try to summarize what I caught:
First, the serious stuff:
Chris wants to announce a gun violence forum taking place on Thursday, 10/29, at 6:30pm at 2200 Beechwood Blvd. Please spread the word. Any questions or to RSVP, email him at elgrip@gmail.com.
On that same topic, Audrey has crafted a beautifully and succinctly written letter that you can use to write your politicians. For the letter, contact her at: aekane@gmail.com. Or, write your own and send along to the following:
Websites for politicians:

Under "Contact Me" you can fill out an email and write a letter or copy and paste what Audrey has written.
