Occupy Wilmington, NC is working on planning for community outreach on May 26th in Greenfield Lake park. Yes, it is memorial day weekend which may pose problems in terms of availabile teach-in guests, but if possible it could be a good chance for exposure. I have contacted people experienced in worker cooperatives to do a teach-in. The event is from 3pm to 7pm although we will have a small core group in Greenfield park earlier to occupy a picnic shelter and set up for a potluck dinner. Other teach-ins will be geared toward informing the public on corporate control of our government (exposing ALEC), voter suppression, and foreclosure fraud.

I think if we gave this event a more origanal title that still conveys the idea of food it would be more attractive to creative people. I was thinking of "Full Belly; Full Mind" except that could confuse this as an event put on by the Full Belly Project. Maybe somebody could see if Jock from FBP wants to do a teach-in?

yeah. occupy our belly; occupy our minds. i have an idea for a graphic on a flyer now. the word occupy in the shape of sandwich buns and the words belly and mind stacked in between!

What do you all think?

I am at the library where it's 15 cents a copy. 20 for $3. I'll bring them to ga.

We need to have a dicussion on logistics as well. we will need orienteers to stand near the entrance into the park from the parking lot telling people what is going on.
