Bread & Roses Needs Volunteer Show Hosts

Ti_breadRoses

BREAD AND ROSES needs a few good volunteer show hosts, especially in San Francisco and on the Peninsula! Can you please share this with anyone you know who might be interested? We’d really appreciate it! If you love music and you want to help your neighbors most in need, this is the perfect volunteer job for you. Bread & Roses presents 40 to 50 shows each month in facilities around the Bay Area where people really need the hope, healing, and joy of live music. A staff member or volunteer host attends every show to introduce the performer and provide “backstage support.” As a host, you will:

 *Receive training in how to be an emcee and use a small sound system.
 *Choose shows you can host: morning, afternoon, and evening shows every day.
 *Help set the stage for human kindness at facilities where  people are isolated from society.
 *Enjoy quality, live entertainment by doing 1-3 shows a month, depending on your schedule.
 *Attend an annual host dinner, Bread & Roses volunteer appreciation party, and other fun events.

You can make a BIG difference by helping us host our institutional audiences in San Francisco and on the Peninsula! Come join us in bringing hope and healing through live music to people in your community who need it most. For more information: Lisa Starbird at 415-945-7127 ext. 104 or email Lstarbird@breadandroses.org

Attachment_preview_document2

Help make Pacifica a greener, more environmentally sound community. Pacificans are uniting to make it happen. Here are some of our ideas: ban polystyrene containers still used in some restaurants, bag deposits to reduce demand for paper and plastic bags, ban gas-powered leaf-blowers. Maybe you have some ideas to share. Let's work together. Contact Bill Collins at 94116bc@gmail.com

"Health Care for All" Organizes Locally

Cali

Pacificans can make a difference in the struggle for single-payer health care for all. We need to tell our elected representatives to put it on the table. It will save money and we the people, not the insurance and pharmaceutical companies, will be in charge. To work on this issue locally, call Fran Devlin, RN, NP, 650-359-8745. The Senate Finance Committee chaired by Democratic Senator Max Baucus held a roundtable May 5 on health care reform. It consisted of 15 witnesses, with no single-payer advocates among them. By contrast, several witnesses have direct ties to the for-profit, private health insurance industry. The doctors and activists in the audience were dressed in black, which they said was in memory of the 22,000 people who die every year due to lack of health insurance. They represented a coalition of single-payer advocacy organizations, including Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), HEALTHCARE-NOW, SINGLE PAYER ACTION, Private Health Insurance Must Go, Campaign for Fresh Air and Clean Politics, Prosperity Agenda, and Health Care for the Homeless.

Sanchez Creek Gets Some Love @ Golf Course

100_4386

Ian Butler took this picture of  trashed Sanchez Creek, which runs through Sharp Park Golf Course. Then Ian invited all golfers and environmentalists to join him in a creek cleanup May 9 (both sides in the golf course debate claim to be stewards of nature). It's interesting to see who showed up to "walk the talk" with Ian. Read Recent Comments to see what happened at the work party.
