I can't be there tonight but I'd say canceling outreach is OK to dedicate some time to this community forum, but not attending movement building wouldn't be the best choice (although I think you are facilitating movement building katie, so you probably will be there heh).
People can also have a choice of all three?
Outreach 6 at SEIU 615 (26 West St.)
Community Forum Open House 6-8:30
Movement Building 7 at SEIU 615
Apologies for being MIA tonight, hope these are well attended.

It's an awesome proposal and has been a long time coming, and will help both in terms of inviting and opening up our space to new folks (a harder task, in the absence of Dewey Square) and also giving us an opportunity to meet across working groups and familiarize ourselves with each others' projects.

A rough sketch of the evening goes as follows:
> 6-6:30ish -- coffee and snack time! hanging out, mingling, talking to unfamiliar faces,
> 6:307ish -- quick presentation -- this is OB! welcome!
> 7-8:30 -- breakout WG stations -- each working group takes a corner, an alcove, a small space in the sanctuary, where they are set up with sign-up sheets, a sign saying who they are and what they do, and a few people who are able to talk about exciting stuff that's coming up for that working group.
> Again, this is TOMORROW, so it's pretty quick planning! It's meant to be pretty informal - a place for us to meet each other, and invite new people to participate in what's going on between and among different working groups.

> The working group breakouts are a great place to talk about what we've done, and give new people (or people from other working groups) an idea about what projects are really exciting for us at the moment (town halls? community gardens? community-wide action planning?) Even better to bring pictures or have people on hand who can speak to the specifics of why outreach is an awesome place to be.

> Jay from signs will be there to help get set up, but we'd need to bring some materials -- any printed matter, nametags, signs saying who we are, documentation of past projects, etc -- and have at least one person to man these stations. It would be awesome if outreach, labor outreach and streets could be involved in this! I'm going to reach out to the community orgs right after this to see if they want to cancel or go forward with the regular meeting -- I think it would be awesome to have them involved as well.
