Proposals for Action

Social

Purpose:
To celebrate life, build a sense of community, and increase understanding of current issues.

Methods:

• A Progressive Party is held in the evening on the same day each week at a different community center, preferably at centers that regularly display visual art or that can do so for this occasion.
• Each event has a similar format, with each community center determining the specifics for its event.
• The event begins with a pot luck dinner.
• Following dinner, for about 90 minutes, there is live music, singing, poetry, a 10-minute talk on current events, and other cultural presentations. Care is taken to assure quality presentations that will engage the audience.
• A dance party with live and/or recorded music follows these presentations. Partly to encourage inter-generational participation, the dancing might begin with simple folk dances or other "coordinated dancing" led by an instructor.
