Liberty on Tour investigates the St. Louis Bread Company’s awesome experiment in charity. Guess what? Turns out people really do care about each other and that we don’t need a violent monopoly to facilitate helping the poor:
We who blog here at Free Keene do so not for money… we do so to offer our ideas and opinions about how a society can exist without the need for initiating violence against the peaceful. Many of you who read here may vastly disagree with what we advocate, but I don’t think you could claim that we are not advocating what we truly believe is the “right” thing to do.
We believe in helping people… mostly, by helping people to understand how a society can exist without the initiation of force. Helping people is not always limited to ideas, writing, activism, and politics though.
The Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund is looking for media volunteers. Want to support the good people who break bad laws like Keene’s Disobedient Seven? We’re looking for volunteers to assist with new media initiatives like researching, writing press releases, blogging, social media broadcasting etc. Want in? Get in touch.
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!
Free Keene is sponsoring a hole at the upcoming first annual charity miniature golf tournament, benefiting Hundred Nights Shelter. The event is happening at Arnone’s Family Fun Center on Route 32 in Swanzey, Saturday 5/22, starting with an 11:00am “Tee Off”. Tickets are $8 for an individual and $30 for a foursome. Individual players will be combined into a team of four. There will be prize drawings all day and the round of mini golf and a go-cart ride is included with every ticket! Tickets are available the day-of or in advance by calling 313-5807 or 352-8105. Hundred Nights t-shirts commemorating the event will be given to the first hundred registrants.
Plus, anybody that shows up and orders breakfast between 9:00 and noon at Arnone’s, owner John Arnone will donate 10% of the tab to Hundred Nights. Please note that thanks to Arnone’s, 100% of the proceeds from the golf tournament, the go-karts, face painting, raffles and everything else going on during the hours of 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM will go to Hundred Nights!
See you there! Here’s the forum thread for further discussion.
I have actually already paid for the sponsorship from my own pocket, but if you’d like to help Free Keene sponsor the 2010 Porcupine Freedom Festival, I’ve created a Chip-In to help cover the cost. Free Keene is going to have a banner hung during all of Porcfest which will be moved on stage for exclusive sponsorship of the very popular “Soapbox Idol” event. We’ll also get an ad in the event program, among other things.
If you’d like to help pay for it, donate to the chip-in at the top right of Free Keene, or just become a monthly contributor here. Thanks for supporting Free Keene!
