We’re happy to announce that Food Not Bombs Las Vegas has opened up a second weekly Free Picnic in the Park! In addition to our ongoing Sunday picnics at Baker Park, FNBers, activists, community members, and anyone who’s hungry will now be joining together for a free vegan meal and community picnic, every Wednesday from 4-6pm, at Paradise Park (4775 McLeod Dr, in between Harmon & Tropicana. Paradise Park is a great space, with a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere, some beautiful trees, lots of shade, playground equipment for kids, and a lot of picnic tables.
And you’re invited! Come on down and join us for community, conversation, and a delicious vegan meal. Please feel free to drop in whenever you can — it’s a picnic, and many folks who can’t make it at 4 might be able to make it at 5 or 5:30.
If you’re interested in volunteering to help bring food or drinks to the picnic, or in helping to prep and cook food with other FNBers, contact Charles (by e-mail, or by voice or text at 734-262-2129).

Just a quick reminder: Food Not Bombs Las Vegas will be meeting up for our weekly organizational meet-up at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf this Saturday, November 21, at our regular meeting time of 2:00pm.
We usually meet up in the back meeting room, with Food Not Bombs literature set out at our table to help us find each other. At the meetings we share news about upcoming events and opportunities, do organizing work for upcoming Food Not Bombs events, parcel out new stores that each of us will contact about setting up donations, and report back to the group on how things have been going since the last meeting with the stores we contacted and the other Food Not Bombs projects that we’ve taken on.
This Saturday, we’ll be talking about our outreach events coming up next week, discussing possible outreach tabling opportunities at music shows and other community events, and working on ongoing plans to open up our second weekly free picnic, planned to take place on Wednesdays at Alexander Villas Park in Las Vegas.
- WHAT: Next Food Not Bombs Las Vegas organizational meeting

Because many members of Food Not Bombs Las Vegas will be spending all weekend volunteering to provide food or staff outreach tables at this year’s Living Without Borders encuentro, including all day Saturday (Nov. 7), we will be postponing our regular Saturday organizational meeting this weekend. We will not be meeting at the regular time. If you would like to meet up with fellow Las Vegas FNBers, the place to do it this Saturday will be across the street, in the UNLV student union building, at our outreach table in the encuentro tabling space.
Our next organizational meeting will be the following Saturday (11/14):

As part of Food Not Bombs’s commitment to providing food to social justice activist events, Food Not Bombs Las Vegas will be at the 2nd annual Living Without Borders / Viviendo Sin Fronteras encuentro at UNLV, this weekend. We will be helping to provide the free breakfast and lunch for participants on Saturday and Sunday; we will also be hosting an outreach table all three days of the encuentro, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The 2nd Annual Living Without Borders / Viviendo Sin Fronteras encuentro will be held this weekend, November 6-9, 2009, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Spread the word to anyone you think might be interested! Register to attend if one of the folks who might be interested is you yourself!
Living Without Borders is an activist and community meeting devoted to freedom and dignity for all immigrants, to the struggle against international apartheid, to envisioning and working to build a world without government borders, and to radical social transformation that tears down all the walls, including both the coercively-imposed boundaries of nation-states and also all the other, interconnected forms of oppression, exploitation and domination that confine and constrain us. The encuentro is organized by the United Coalition for Im/migrant Rights in Las Vegas.
Hope to see you there!
