I'm reorganizing my stuff, and getting rid of these shelves & CD organizers. Before I put them on Freecycle, I figured I'd give the neighborhood first crack. 7 Herbert Street, behind 70 Richdale. Bill Barnert

I highly recommend these guys. Not cheap, but organic food straight from local farms is a big plus. Order by Sunday midnight from a host of farmers for meat, fish, veggies, fruit, ice cream, eggs, on and on… Pick up on Mass Ave at Cambridge Trust drive through. Ruth http://farmerstoyou.com/

Re: [Neighbors] Important Community Conversations
by Ruth Ryals 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Mayor Marc McGovern asked that I post this: This past summer I announced that Councillor Sumbul Siddiqui and I would be organizing a series of community conversations regarding race, equity, privilege and micro-aggression. The firing of a lunch-aid from the Cambridge Public Schools for making a racist statement to a group of students only amplifies the need for us to engage in this work. Marc Please see the the press release below and visit the Mayor's web page for information: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: TODAY, Monday, October 22nd, 2018 Office of Mayor Marc McGovern Contact: Ana Barros, Deputy Chief of Staff City Hall 617.349.4326 | abarros(a)cambridgema.gov 795 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA Mayor McGovern and Councilor Siddiqui Invite Cambridge to Dig DEEP for Racial Equity Cambridge, MA: Mayor Marc McGovern and Councillor Sumbul Siddiqui are pleased to announce the launch of “Cambridge Digs DEEP,” an initiative designed to engage the entire Cambridge community in conversations about equity, power, privilege, diversity, inclusion, and race in a series of community forums and workshops starting November 2018 and continuing throughout 2019. Mayor McGovern and Councillor Siddiqui’s Offices are partnering with consultant Dr. Darnisa Amante, CEO of the Disruptive Equity Education Project (DEEP), to co-design the community conversations. Mayor McGovern and Councillor Sumbul cited DEEP’s extensive experience working with the Cambridge Public School Department and familiarity with the City as factors that positioned DEEP as an ideal partner for this initiative. Five events have currently been scheduled with several more events expected to be added in the coming months. The first event, a city-wide community forum, will take place on Wednesday, November 28th, 2018 at 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm at the Fletcher Maynard Academy Gymnasium, 225 Windsor St., Cambridge, MA 02139. It will offer participants an opportunity to establish a shared framework for communication and learning, to share feedback, and to build the relational trust necessary to engage in these discussions. “Cambridge Digs DEEP represents a city-wide commitment to the difficult and ongoing work of social justice,” says Mayor McGovern, “From the viral video depicting a negative interaction between a Harvard employee and a young mother living in affordable housing to concerns raised by the Black Students Union at CRLS, we know that despite our reputation as a progressive city, Cambridge is not immune to issues of race and class.” As a Pakistani-born, Muslim woman of color, who grew up in Cambridge affordable housing, Councillor Siddiqui has been aware of this reality since childhood. “Certain things differentiated my day-to-day experiences [in Cambridge] from those of my more privileged peers, who were often unaware of these disparities.” Siddiqui hopes that the upcoming community-wide conversations will “help grow our collective understanding of what equity looks like in Cambridge.” McGovern believes “these conversations will require us as a community to step out of our comfort zone, to honestly grapple with our biases and approach challenging topics with a willingness to listen to and learn from each other.” Siddiqui agrees that only through “deep listening, engaging in dialogue across difference, and learning from the stories of others” can the Cambridge community “begin to see the ways in which identities - such as race, class, gender, religion - impact our lives.” Both are hopeful that Cambridge Digs DEEP will, as Mayor McGovern says, “encourage the community to live up to its values and move us closer to realizing our vision of a truly just and equitable Cambridge.” “Ideally, it will catalyze further conversations, “adds Councillor Siddiqui, “from boardrooms and classrooms to the dinner table." The following events are scheduled for 2019: • Saturday, January 26th, 2019 at 12:00pm - 2:00pm, facilitated by DEEP (location TBA) • Thursday, February 7th, 2019 at 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, presented by the City of Cambridge and the Cambridge Public School Department (location TBA) • Thursday, March 21st, 2019 at 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, facilitated by DEEP (location TBA) • Saturday, April 27th, 2019 at 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm, facilitated by DEEP (location TBA) For more information about Cambridge Digs DEEP, contact Ana Barros, Deputy Chief of Staff, at abarros(a)cambridgema.gov. Disruptive Equity Education Project is a professional development and strategy organization that is focused on the intentional, developmental, and complex work that is associated with changing mindsets around equity and dismantling systemic oppression and racism.

Join the Cambridge Historical Society for its free Fall Symposium, titled "Where is Cambridge From?" to dig into these questions and more with a distinguished panel of historians and civic leaders. Thursday, October 25 at 6:00 PM in First Church, Cambridge, near Harvard Square. Admission is free. Register at https://fallsymposiumwhereiscambridgefrom.eventbrite.com. >> >>

Thanks, Ruth Ryals Begin forwarded message: > From: "Kelley, Craig" <ckelley(a)cambridgema.gov> > Date: October 20, 2018 at 5:22:40 PM EDT > Subject: MICE at Lesley this weekend (20 & 21 Oct) > > Hey Everyone: > > Given how much I like MICE, I’m really sorry I didn’t learn about this weekend’s Expo until this afternoon, but there is still a lot of stuff happening tomorrow (Sunday) from 11-5 PM and I hope you get the chance to take a break from the Head of the Charles or step away from the Patriots game (1 PM kickoff) to learn more about the crazy, interesting, informative and imaginative world of comics. Suffice to say, it’s not your Grandmother’s Lil Abner anymore. Comics, graphic novels, illustrated medical texts and more are changing the way we learn, communicate and entertain and the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo at Lesley is a great place to learn more about this fascinating medium. > > Thanks and have a great rest of the weekend. > > Craig
