Subject: [Acbostonalums] Greater Boston Antioch alumni chapter news
Message-ID: <6bnhiu$f0p1g5@smtp01.lnh.mail.rcn.net>

At our November 14 planning group meeting (apologies for being so 
slow to give this report), we agreed to undertake the following 
community-building and fund-raising initiative: We will work to 
establish a network of alums willing to let traveling alums stay with 
them in their homes. Alumni who use this Antioch College B&B service 
will donate a minimum of $100 per night -- not to the host but to the 
College Revival Fund. Erna Greene '47, Barb Schram '55, and Nick 
Peterson '00 volunteered to work with me on this. Other volunteers welcome.

We also decided to pursue the following schedule of greater Boston 
chapter events for 2008:

On a Sunday afternoon in the winter, we're hoping to have an informal 
discussion with University Trustee Jack Merselis and possibly his 
fellow Trustee Sherwood Guernsey, followed by a buffet supper. I am 
following up with the Trustees to find workable dates. Everett 
Mendelsohn '53 volunteered to look for space for the event at Dudley 
House, Harvard University.

For the Sunday, April 13, matinee at 2 p.m., Nick Peterson, who works 
at the American Repertory Theatre, has reserved a block of tickets 
for us at ART's production of "Elections and Erections: A Chronicle 
of Fear and Fun." Information about E&E is here: 
http://www.amrep.org/elections/ Nick has also arranged for us to have 
a private room for a get-together after the show. Karen Scheaffer '65 
has volunteered to take charge of refreshments.

In May, we'll host a discussion with Richard Couto, author of the 
2005 book "Courses in Courage: Antioch College and the Social 
Sciences," together with alumni contributors to the book. Everett 
Mendelsohn and Mike Brower will coordinate this.

In September, the third annual Cape and Islands get-together. Barb 
Schram will coordinate this among the Boston alums, together with Zee 
Gamson on the Vineyard.

Our big fall event will be a panel discussion on Rebuilding Education 
for the 21st Century. Barb Schram, Everett Mendelsohn, and Roy 
Crystal '71 will coordinate this.

Our next planning-group meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 8, 
at 6:30 p.m. at Mike Brower's house in Cambridge. Jan Nicholson was 
volunteered in absentia to order a take-out dinner for us, assuming 
she's able to attend the meeting.

And Mike Brower encouraged everyone to get in touch with old friends 
from college and ask whether they have a local alumni chapter and, if 
not, whether they'd like to start one. Mike will help you take it from there.
