TS The Touchstone at Somerfest-July30

[The Touchstone]

As many of you already know, Sheri Allen-Wright and her late husband Flynn 
in addition to running our local Green Party and actively supporting The 
Touchstone were very involved with Somerfest.  Sheri is continuing with her 
activism. She's mentioned to me several times about The Touchstone having 
an information booth there where in addition we can distribute copies of 
the magazine.  I think that's a good idea and I'll be there but, of course, 
would also like some others who have supported The Touchstone to join me 
(and relieve me at times).
     She's also mentioned that we could in addition/instead run a 
vegetarian food booth as a money raiser where we could sell corn on the 
cob, beans, rice, vegetarian (soy) burger and hot dogs, fruit etc. .  I 
think that's an excellent idea and something we should do (we need the 
money) -- but that's something I definitely can't do by myself.
     I've placed a recent email from Sheri about Somerfest below so you can 
have an idea about it. Please get back with me as soon as possible if 
you're interested in volunteering to help with either/both of these -- an 
information booth/table and a vegetarian food booth. (We're late for 
getting a food booth but since it will be vegetarian they will probably 
still let us in).  I hope you can join me there.  I think it would be great 
if we could do the food booth.
