HELP CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF INTERNATIONALIST BOOKS
INTEREST MEETING -- TUESDAY, JAN 24 @ IBOOKS, 7pm

Internationalist Books and Community Center openly invites the general
public to participate in shaping the vision for the bookstore as we
celebrate our 25th Anniversary in 2006.  We're holding an interest meeting
on Tuesday January 24th at 7:00pm at the bookstore to enlist those who would
like to be involved in the ongoing planning effort for three large
commemorative events, as well as other programs throughout the year.  We're
looking for former volunteers who have been away from home for a while but
would like to return to short-term service.  We're looking for friends of
Bob Sheldon who would like to help us carry on with his legacy.  We're
looking for motivated community members who are looking for new ways to
champion the rights of workers, and other underrepresented groups.

If you can't make it on Tuesday night, but still want to be involved with
this year's celebration, check in on our efforts at our blog (
www.ibooks25.blogspot.com).  You can also contact us by phone (942-1740),
email (ibooks AT internationalistbooks.org), or stop by to learn how you can
help.
