Keeniacs: Project Graduation Needs Your Help!

Last year, a good group of liberty activists made a difference at the “Project Graduation” event. We’re going back this year, but without your help it may not happen! There are different shifts available, but they really need people for 12:15a-4a this Fri/Sat night. (The event starts 6/11 and ends early 6/12 AM.) Here’s the message from volunteer coordinator Christine Kehoe:

We are still very short of the number of volunteers we need to chaperon and run games and activities!!!

Please, if you have not already signed up to cover a 4 hour shift, we need you!! We are only halfway to the number of people we need to make sure we can go forward with the event.

The chaperon shifts are 9pm-12:30 and 12:15-4 am and the clean-up shifts are 4-8am and 6-10am. The 12:15 shift is always the hardest to fill and is where we have the greatest need!

Can you help late Friday night, particularly from 12:15a-4a (technically early Sat AM)? Throw in your name here on the forum thread, and I’ll pass on your info to Christine. Thanks!

My Answers to “Curious”

An anonymous commenter on the Keene Sentinel site has asked questions, and I will answer them (quoted exactly as they were written) here so they aren’t lost behind the Sentinel’s paywall after a week:

1. are you advocating 12 and 13 year olds drop out of school and self educate?

No, I’m advocating they visit SchoolSucksProject.com and listen to the podcast there.

2, If freedom of life choices and self ownership is the foundation of your ideology when does a person start to make these choices for themeselve?

Video – Middle School Outrech Conversation

From new mover Adam Mueller – a sample of what REALLY happened at the Keene Middle School outreach:

While doing some outreach at the Middle School in Keene, NH one curious kid had several questions. It was going well when a school official ended the conversation.

420 Moves to Ashuelot Park

Keene’s Central Square was empty yesterday as the daily 420 celebrations have been moved to the beautiful Ashuelot park at West and Island St!

Celebration spokesman Rich Paul wouldn’t cite reasons for the venue change and encouraged readers to decide for themselves. Celebrants cleaning up some garbage in the park noticed the city’s cans were nearly overflowing! This has been a problem at other city parks in the past and is more proof that the violent monopoly can’t even handle the garbage. It would seem likely that the city’s janitors don’t work weekends and holidays, which are the times they are needed most!

As Rich says, “420, Ashuelot park, everyday”.
