[BWNA] *** VBC Schedule: Spread the Word ***

[Albert Kaufman]

Hello, this is an important and interesting week-long event that is an
incredible example of urban change/art/renewal/learning, etc.  I'd really
like to see our neighborhood come up with a project for 2007.  To that end,
I want to encourage everyone to check this out and see if there's something
that you can plug into - making a mural, attending a lecture, it's really
quite amazing.  

Albert
