1) HELLO!

Greetings Internationalist friends and supporters,

My name is Nick Shepard, and I'm just getting started as the new  
co-manager of the store, as Daniel heads off for travel and graduate  
school.  After volunteering here for five years, it's an exciting  
opportunity to take that experience to the next level while the store  
continues to grow and develop.  During the next months, I'm hoping to  
expand the store's inventory, maintain a consistent schedule of  
interesting and relevant events, increase volunteer involvement, and  
help ensure that Internationalist realizes to the fullest extent of  
its potential.  But in order to do that, we need your support!

All of you can help keep the Internationalist a vibrant voice for  
justice in the Chapel Hill community.  By making sure that your  
membership is current, you can help us continue to improve our  
finances while receiving a 10% discount, access to our radical lending  
library, invitations to special events, and a free Internationalist  
tote bag.  Also, we can always use donations of new and used books,  
office supplies (tape/envelopes/stamps/etc), and time and energy.   
Help spread the word about the Internationalist amongst your friends,  
family, and community, and we'll continue to provide an inspiring  
space to engage with progressive and radical ideas.  I look forward to  
seeing you!

yours in struggle,
Nick Shepard

This 50+ page pamphlet examines current medical information and

participants from behind the counter at the Internationalist.
