[JollyJack at aol.com]

Dear Friends, 
I received the following  email from Jeanette Smith of the American Friends 
Service Committee. Sounds  like a good way to spend a Saturday evening!   
Jack 
Emerge Miami is a great group  started by students from local universities in 
an effort to support the activist  movement and create a culture of activism 
where like minds can join together for  social events. Come spend a few hours, 
if you can. I know that you’ll enjoy it  as a lot of effort has been put into 
making this a fun event.   
WHAT: SCREENING  OF THE CORPORATION, VEGETARIAN POTLUCK, CREATIVE CRAFTS AND 
GOOD  PEOPLE! 
WHERE: SWEAT  RECORDS:  2320 NE 2ND  AVENUE, MIAMI 
WHEN: SATURDAY,  SEPTEMBER 10TH.   
DOORS OPEN 6:00 P.M.  FILM  BEGINS AT 8:00 P.M.  PLEASE COME EARLY TO BRING 
YOUR DISH AND PARTICIPATE  IN DISCUSSIONS, ACTIVITIES! 
WHO:   HOSTED BY EMERGE MIAMI, AND THE WONDERFUL FOLKS AT SWEAT  RECORDS 
WHY: TO HONOR  AND BRING TOGETHER THE HARD WORKING PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY OF 
SOUTH FLORIDA 
COST: $0 (HEY,  WE’RE NOT A CORPORATION!  WE’RE DOING THIS FOR  YOU!!) 
VEGETARIAN  POTLUCK.  PLEASE BRING A DISH/SNACK/DRINK,ETC.*   
If you are  not able to bring a dish or food item, don’t let it stop you from 
coming!    
This event will be very special,  with creative crafts, music, time to 
talk/mingle/share and enjoy some wonderful  vegetarian and vegan food as well as the 
screening of an excellent film: The  Corporation.  We could think of no 
better film to show at an event meant to  bring the progressive community together 
since it reveals how our current  “corporate ideology” is preying upon every 
aspect of our world: the environment,  worker’s rights, poverty issues, labor, 
public health, women’s rights, etc. and  shows how we are really all fighting 
a different part of the same big battle.   
We believe that spending time around  others who are working to make this 
world a better place- whether that be  through working for a non-profit, playing 
music, being an artist, an activist,  or just being an aware consumer-  brings 
us comfort, courage, strength and  inspiration, and it doesn’t happen nearly 
enough.  
Emerge proposes to take on the task  to create the times and spaces for these 
connections to happen. We will have  time at some point during the evening 
for a talking circle (or breaking up into  several smaller talking circles 
depending on how many attend) at which time you  can share news, information, 
upcoming events, thoughts, inspirations, or  whatever else you would like to be 
known!   
Also we are going to have a specific  table dedicated to sign up sheets for 
mailing lists and upcoming events for all  the different organizations in 
attendance.  Please bring a sign up sheet or  let us know what you want on it and we
’ll make one for  you! 
I’d love to see you  there. 
Blessings, 
Jeanette 



Best  Regards,
Jack Lieberman
