Mike Rhodes, editor and publisher of Fresno's
Community Alliance newspaper, will be the featured speaker at our next
Volunteers For Change-Fresno general meeting, scheduled
7-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 6, in the large community room of the Fig Garden Library,
3071 W. Bullard Ave., in Fresno. The library is on the southwest corner of Bullard and Marks, in the shopping center.
At our meeting, Mike plans to speak about the history of the
Community Alliance, Fresno's premier progressive newspaper. Mike will also address the topic of homelessness in Fresno, with his emphasis placed on possible compassionate actions people can take in support of Fresno's homeless population.
Also on our agenda:
- A wrap-up of the battle for healthcare reform;
- An array of possible community service projects, including those from the Community Food Bank and others;
- A variety of possible 'issues actions,' including ways to help build bridges across an increasingly deep political divide in our country; and
- An opportunity to meet at least one candidate running for office.
As always, our meeting will include some fun and some lively 'networking time.' All members and their guests are welcome to attend... and we hope to see you there!
