Dear Jamaica Plain,
Thank you all so much for such a wonderful first year of the Jamaica Plain Forum! What started out as a few community conversations on current social issues has turned into a well-loved staple of the Jamaica Plain neighborhood.
This season our conversations ranged from parenting, to the local food movement, to genocide in Darfur, to Global Warming. Big-name speakers included Ross Gelbspan, Frances Moore-Lappe, Bill McKibben, Maude Barlow and Amy Goodman; big-hearted presentations included local community members sharing tips to decrease home carbon emissions, and volunteering to rebuild homes in New Orleans. Also, we featured new award-winning documentaries including SiCKO, King Corn, An Unreasonable Man, and New Year Baby. Visit “Past Events” to view all 33 events from the 2007-2008 season!
We are already building our line-up for the fall. You can look forward to conversations on immigration, re-localization, and the power of song in our lives. Also, the JP Forum will feature a new screen for movie viewing, and more comfortable chairs. We look forward to seeing you in September!
Happy Summer,
Sarah, Chuck and the Jamaica Plain Forum crew!
