NYC: Feb/Mar 2009 Meetings

While I hope to get the January/February digest up this weekend, I wanted to make sure my New York City readers (any left?) knew about the following meetings at the Catholic Worker:

All meetings begin at 7:45pm:

Feb 20 Lindsey Davis: Update on Homelessness in New York City.

Why the meetings? I’ll let the Worker itself explain:

In keeping with Peter Maurin’s recognition of the need for ongoing clarification of thought, we invite you to join us for our weekly Friday night meetings. The meetings are held either at Maryhouse–55 East Third St, 212-777-9617, or St. Joseph House, 36 East First St, 212-254-1640. As far ahead as we can see, those we will hold at First Street will be marked with an *. Feel welcome to call and confirm the schedule. Both houses are between First and Second Avenues (2nd Ave. stop on the F or V train).
