a House Or Roof Wash! Freethinker Friday QUEENSBURY – Three speakers will talk on Occupy Wall Street issues this month at the Freethinker Friday Forum from 6-8pm on October 21 at UUCGF. Admission is free. Matt Funiciello will lead off by speaking on the nature of citizen protest in an age of corporate media and the need to meaningfully occupy the local food, media, and local government systems that control us. Then we will hear Leo Herr’s first-person account of his all-night occupation of Wall Street and march. Finally, John Warren will speak and answer questions about the Wall Street Occupation. All present are invited to discuss the topic, whether you agree with the speakers or not. Homemade soup and bread will be provided by Rockhill Bakehouse. Opinions of the speakers are not necessarily those of UUCGF. Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Glens Falls is located at 21 Weeks Road (off Rt. 9 next to WalMart) Queensbury. (P)
