Action Calendar

Dear Folks

It is just getting to be too much for me to keep up with the busy Bay Area calendar. Besides, the calendar is being handled beautifully by Ken Cheetham from the Bay Area Progressive Directory (BAPD) at http://www.bapd.org/notices.html. So I urge you to check http://www.bapd.org/notices.html for what is happening in the Bay Area, and to submit your notices to BAPD at bapd@attbi.com. When you submit your notice, please start with the date, time, place, and title. Then you can add a short description. Be sure to add a telephone number and/or email and/or website where more information can be found.
