change. I believe our next luncheon is April 13. No Foolin'!
I snipped pieces of the Bright's April Bulletin, and I do hope you
subscribe...see bottom of note for subscription info if you care to do
so...
It is nice to see our efforts recognized by The Brights Central,
thanks Paul and Mynga...
Also, an interesting bit of knowledge gained about how to sign our
letters to the editors.
Great work all, thanks for being a Bright!
Frish sez: I always have trouble with the pluralization, so this is
helpful to fellow writers:
===================
Peter Papesch (Boston, USA) sent in his point of view the matter:
"'BRIGHTS' (plural) is the collective term for us. Identifying myself
as 'A BRIGHT' is both grammatically and conceptually correct.
Furthermore, since the movement was conceived in the English-speaking
realm, I would urge all fellow Brights to retain the English term with
its double meaning rather than face the hurdles of translating the
double meaning into any other language. The very characteristic of the
double meaning adds significance to the term, and thus to the
movement."
=====================
Frish sez: Bright's Local Constituency I believe is our LA Brights
Official Title. By the way, members, we had a merry band of 2
participants so I really enjoyed writing the line in the press release
- "All participants agreed:"...but...here is something slightly more
serious...
Our group only serves us to the extent that our members have common
interests and sometimes behaviors, like showing up...and, while this
was our first volunteer effort (and I was out of town!), we'll see if
"the group" really is serious about community outreach as more
opportunities arise. Many thanks to Armel and John for being there,
let's do another soon (I think something is scheduled, see you there!)
BRIGHTS BLC IS VOLUNTEERING IN COMMUNITY
[March 28, 2008] For Immediate Release: "Los Angeles BRIGHTS support
nature at Daniel Webster Middle School Educational Garden"
---------------
On March 22, 2008, The Los Angeles BRIGHTS turned out to plant, weed,
tend and otherwise nurture The Daniel Webster Garden. Located at
Daniel Webster Middle School (LAUSD) the garden was established to
teach children who grow up in an urban setting more about the
environment.
The LA BRIGHTS charter includes volunteer efforts, doing good for the
community and supporting BRIGHT goals. See http://www.the-brights.net
Recognizing the need for more knowledge about nature, LA BRIGHT and
school teacher John Taylor wasn't solely altruistic in his volunteer
effort. "Sure, happy to help here, but I'm bringing what I learned
back to my own school, to initiate the effort there!"
All participants agreed: It feels good to help others. The LA BRIGHTS
will be performing more acts of volunteerism in support of the
naturalistic worldview.
---------------
This type of action serves as a model for other Brights Local
Constituencies that meet in person. The LA Brights not only focus on
the community; they also take the extra steps to ensure that their
volunteer efforts gain wider notice. See:
