Open meeting on the state of public affairs in Greensboro

Stolen in its entirety and without permission from Roch101:

"GREENSBORO, NC -- Do you find the state of public affairs in Greensboro to be be less than satisfactory? Perhaps you think local government and the institutions it supports are too secretive and not accountable.

Do you think the priorities set by our civic institutions are misaligned from the public interest?

Do you think public money, time and attention are bestowed upon deficient efforts?

Do you think we need to move away from trying minor variations of the same stale ideas?

Do you think entrenched local power centers are falling short while crowding out better ideas?

Do you want to explore what can be done to make it better?

Would you like to shake things up?

You are invited to join a very informal meeting of other like-minded individuals who have an interest in improving the public and quasi-public workings of our community. We will discuss what fundamental common interests might motivate a cooperative effort and what type of organizing could advance such interests for the purpose of influencing local public affairs.

When: 
Thursday. May 16, 2013; 5:30 P.M.

Where: 
The Mill (The old Daily Bread Flour Mill)
816 South Elm St.
Greensboro, NC

For more information, contact Roch Smith, Jr. or Eric Robert.

Beer will be available."

My apologies to Roch for having not asked permission first-- it seemed important.
