The next NEAN [1] Assembly, in Rochester, NY, is less than two weeks away!
Location & Arrivals
Friday, February 11 – Sunday, February 13
at The Flying Squirrel Community Space (www.thesquirrel.org [2])
285 Clarissa St., Rochester, NY
The weekend's events will begin Saturday morning. We are expecting people to start arriving Friday evening/night at the Flying Squirrel, but please let us know if you will be arriving especially late so that we can make sure someone will be ready to help when you arrive.
Please plan to bring sleeping bags, mats, blankets and pillows if you have them, and extra to lend to other people if possible.
RSVPs
Today (Feb. 1) is the deadline for RSVPs, so if you have not yet sent in your RSVP please do so soon and you can pre-pay the suggested $10-20 sliding scale contribution online or when you arrive in Rochester. No one will be turned away who doesn't RSVP or due to lack of funds, though both will greatly help our ability to plan accordingly. Visit www.neanarchist.net/assembly/11 [3].
Travel Assistance
As funds come in we will do our best to meet the needs of those who request assistance to get to and from Rochester for the Assembly.
Agenda & Workshops
The agenda is not yet final, though some tentative discussions include: getting to know the network/group intros and local organizing; Network decision-making deadline (proposal from the Affiliation Committee); Nor'easter – feedback, support, participation; sustaining the network at the local and sub-regional level, and supporting local organizing.
Some tentative workshops include: Building A Popular Anarchism, Lessons from South America; Radical Community Spaces; Basics of Herbal Medicine; Discussion on tenants/housing issues; Discussion on support. The final agenda and list of workshops will be sent out by this weekend or early next week.

The new issue of The Nor'easter will be available at the Assembly – pick them up in Rochester and save on shipping ($5 for 25 copies, or $10 for 50, cash or check).
