Weekly progressive events calender compiled by PABN (Progressive Activism in Bloomington-Normal) |
Hi everyone,
The calender's a little short this week. As summer approaches I'll need help gathering information, so if you know of an upcoming progressive event, or someone who would like to receive this weekly mailing, please contact me. As always, I appreciate your help in further distributing this information.
Best regards,
Adam
