We are so pleased to invite you to stop by our lovely new office on — yes! — 1730 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way in Berkeley (betw. Francisco and Delaware). Our phone number and emails remain the same but we have much more room and can have meetings of our own. The front room will soon serve as a Nonviolence Resource Center for the Community. We have already held a film screening there (see the attendees, from a recent hope tank) and a visit from two Iraq veterans on a bicycle tour across the U.S.
It gives us great pleasure to note that Rick Stein, owner of Just Carpets in San Rafael, has donated a beautiful new carpet for the main, office room. We have also received a full set of kitchen ware — and our own copy of the long lost documentary, Mahatma Gandhi, Prophet of the Twentieth Century, which Michael considers the best of its kind. It had fallen from view for forty years until its recent rediscovery by an Indian researcher. Help us housewarm! While we get ready for a party for you, here are things that we could still use:
- a microwave
- a small couch
- folding chairs
- the services of a good electrician!
- …and of course, your company.
