Community Board 8 Meeting tonight - 10/11 @ 7pm

Is there a regular schedule for CB meetings? It's kinda hard to go on a few hours notice.

do you rely only on brooklynian for invitations to community meetings? there are precinct councils and community boards everywhere and people who are sincerely interested in finding out about them and as experienced at navigating the internet as you seem to be, usually find them. i always appreciate the reminders on brooklynian, but i don't rely on them to prompt me to become aware of the community-related meetings in my area. maybe you could view a posting of a meeting and think, "darn, I wish I'd known earlier. Next month I'll make it my business to get that information or post a query ahead of time (because my computer doesn't go anywhere but Brooklynian) so that I can plan to attend." That would be so refreshing. Blaming the posters who bother to get the information and post it as a helpful reminder is not. :roll:

I wasn't blaming anyone Lucille. I just didn't know where to look.

Believe it or not, I'm actually quite busy. I do want to be more involved in my community, but it turned out I had to work tonight (and since I am really, really broke, work is a priority!). I *just* got home and the only reason why I'm still up instead of crashed as I should be is that I'm waiting for my stupid cat to finish eating so I can let her out of the bathroom. I can't leave her in there because she'll poop in the tub.

And I'm sorry, but who isn't broke and busy? We all are. That's why we care and make time for things that might improve our quality of life without raising our taxes.

Well, if I went to the meeting instead of going to work, I wouldn't get to eat this week. So no, I don't always have the option of making time.

And I don't know if I'll make it this saturday, especially since I have so little time to get chores done and my sleep pattern is now officially fucked up.

But whether or not I make it, I'll be with you in spirit.

You work?????
Does your boss know how much time you spend posting every minute, every thing that you can think up? But in all seriousness, if you count all the time this week you used work-time to play on the internet -you can use that time better to actually go to this meeting.
:shock:

I've seen couple of references to the march on Saturday, but I must have missed the thread with the details of what its for and where its occurring. Can you provide a the info again? Or point me to the thread where the details are posted?

ETA: Never mind, I found it :oops: RIF

thanks for the link, daver.
the march is an anti-gun violence march. several community organizations are sponsoring it, including the precinct community council and the central brooklyn anti-violence coalition.
it will begin at the corner of buffalo and pacific at noon tomorrow.
see you there!!
