--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This month's speaker event will be a real treat, combining information and inspiration and live music.

"Simplifying My Life"

Join with us to hear one person's attempt to transition to a lifestyle that might be closer to a sustainable way to live - dealing with food, heat, electricity, transportation, entertainment, family life, and activism: told through stories, pictures, and songs.

Our speaker, Newell Hendricks, now retired, spent most of his adult life as an opera composer. For the past 12 years he has become increasingly involved in Latin American solidarity work. With this exposure to the culture of the Global South, he has attempted to become more intentional about his already simple life style (musicians don't earn much money).

ALL WELCOME - No RSVP needed. Just turnip!

4 PM - Speaker/Seminar (FREE)
"Simplifying My Life"

5:15 PM - SOCIAL DINNER - let us get to know you!

Stay and enjoy Grasshopper's delicious unlimited vegan buffet for only $9.50+ tax + tip
Includes appetizers, soups, salad, numerous entrees, and fresh melons. Amazing!

LOCATION for seminar and dinner:

Grasshopper (an all-vegan restaurant)

    Dr. Newell Hendricks was really interesting. He had reinvented himself. Previously, he had composed both opera and light operettas. He and his wife Barbara live in Cambridge in a solar-powered hom which Newell retrofitted. They have two apartments for rent: 1 BDR for $650 and 2 BDR for $800.

Who attended?

    •  There was a great BVS lecture, some OK idiosyncratic music, a great vegan buffet, and good conversation.
