Baltimore Indymedia writes "Water for the Wells brings together 
Baltimore poets and musicians who are organizing benefit performances to 
raise $1,200 to build a single village well in Mali, East Africa. This 
may only be the beginning, says organizer Marcus Colasurdo." Performers 
include BES favorites Karla Mancero and Brian Langston, as well as Mike 
Monroe, Suzanne Diggs, Alan Barysh, Jasaga, and more.

*Jan. 6  Platform 10:30 AM
"Taking Laughter Seriously"  Fritz Williams, Leader of the Baltimore 
Ethical Society*
 *Farewell to John Daken*

/Laughter is possibly the most contagious form of pleasure.  It spices 
up relationships.   It brings down pretensions and puts people at ease.  
It works like medicine in times of sadness, anxiety, and grief.  On the 
most basic level, it is a way of coping with the ultimate absurdity and 
purposelessness of life.  Fritz Williams includes laughter and a sense 
of humor in his year-long overview of the good life.   // /

And Moveable Treats

Bring your desserts with you to our meeting and place them on the table 
in the corner of our meeting room. If possible use sandwich bags or 
snack bags to wrap your desserts in serving-size portions and mark them 
to indicate generally what they are. Also, mark your desserts if they 
contain nuts or peanuts, and avoid desserts with heavy icings and 
desserts containing alcohol.
