From http://www.fridaynightsupper.org We provide nutritious, home-cooked meals to the homeless and hungry people of Boston in a safe and dignified environment every Friday night from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. FNSP serves approximately 130 meals every Friday to some of BostonÃ¯Â¿Â½s most vulnerable citizens, many of whom face a constant struggle not only for food but for understanding and friendship as well. We pride ourselves on providing both nourishment for the body through food and for the soul through dignity and respect. We also seek and value the opinions of the people we serve. FNSP is committed to: * Serving as much fresh food as possible with an emphasis on nutritional value * Providing basic needs such as clothing and toiletries for our guests * Offering a sense of security, abundance, and choice to those who have limited or no access to these very basic essentials. We have been serving 13,000 meals a year to those in need every Friday night since 1984. I've been volunteering at FSNP for over a year, it's an amazing operation. It runs like clockwork. Between 5 and 7 we serve approximately 130 meals, clean up, and leave the place like we were never there. And it's been happening since 1984. It's busy and it's fun. Please RSVP yes only if you can definitely make it for the entire shift 5-7pm. FNSP schedules the number of volunteers it uses each week, so if anyone doesn't show up it really impacts the program. If your plans change, please change your reply ASAP so I can try to fill the spot. Location: FNSP is located in the basement of the Arlington Street Church at the intersection of Arlington and Boylston Streets in the Back Bay section of Boston. The program entrance is just off Arlington Street in Public Alley 438 (between Boylston and Newbury Streets). Go down the stairs, ring the bell if the doors are not open yet. Public Trans: The church is right to next the Arlington St. station (Green Line) The dress code is very simple: volunteers should tie up long hair and wear closed toe shoes with no heels. That's it. Thanks. P.S. Most members of this event are already connected to our Facebook page.

Saturday's Bread - Soup Kitchen

Friends: I am writing to request volunteers to come help us prepare and serve a meal for Boston's less fortunate on Saturday September 4, 2010. This is Labor Day weekend, when many people are away, but the need is still there, so what better way to celebtrate Labor than with some honest to goodness Labor on behalf of those in need? Saturday's Bread (SB) serves meals every Saturday, rain or shine, at St. John's the Evangelist Church (35 Bowdoin Street, Beacon Hill, Boston). We ask volunteers to come at 12:30pm and stay until 4:30pm (12:30pm - 2:30pm Dining hall setup/Meal Preparation, 2:30pm - 3:30pm Volunteers serve the meals to guests, 3:30pm - 4:30pm Clean - up, 4:30+ - Post volunteering libations at a nearby watering hole, usually the Kinsale). St. John's is conveniently located in downtown Boston near the State House and is easily accessible via the T. There are also several parking lots nearby. If you come to volunteer, please use the handicapped accessible ramp entrance on the right hand side of the church, and press all the doorbells so we hear you in the dining hall. (NOTE: We are on Beacon Hill, not in Dorchester - the zip code for St. John's the Evangelist is 02114). For logistical information, please visit our website at SatSunBread.org. In existence for over twenty (20) years, SB has no paid staff and no office. We serve Boston's less fortunate with compassion, efficiency of resources, and fun. Please join us. We need 8-12 volunteers. Please sign up if you are 100% sure you can make it. If you aren't 100%, but want to be on our email list, please shoot me an email. Summer is the hardest time to staff SB, and we are here every weekend, so if you cannot help this particular weekend, there will be plenty of need on another. If you can come down, please RSVP to me at [masked]. Thank you very much for your generosity of spirit, and we hope to see many of you on September 4, 2010. Very truly yours, Richard Wheeler Saturday's Bread

Science on Screen: THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT

Alec Guinness delivers one of his most beloved performances in this smart satirical comedy that pits a mild-mannered but single minded inventor against the forces of Britain's textile industry. Before the screening, we'll tackle the subject of researchers and inventors who go to incredible lengths to pursue wild and often wonderful ideas, many of which the public never hears about. Guest speaker Marc Abrahams thinks we should know about the challenges and pressures they face. In addition to being the co-founder and editor of the Annals of Improbable Research, a science humor magazine that showcases real research being done on strange or unexpected topics, Abrahams is the originator and emcee of the annual Ig Nobel Prizes, honoring unbelievable-but-true achievements that first make us laugh and then make us think. Those achievements include the development of a self-perfuming suit, which Abrahams will wear in honor of his Science on Screen appearance. Abrahams will be joined by Harvard chemist Daniel Rosenberg, who will address a key question, especially for those of us prone to spillage: Is it possible to create clothing that never gets dirty and never wears out?

Rosie's Place: Serve the Evening Meal!

From the Rosie's Place website - http://www.rosiesplace.org/ : RosieÃ¯Â¿Â½s Place, a sanctuary for poor and homeless women, offers emergency and long-term assistance to women who have nowhere else to turn. Founded in 1974, RosieÃ¯Â¿Â½s Place welcomes each guest with respect and unconditional love. RosieÃ¯Â¿Â½s Place accepts no government funds, and relies instead on committed volunteers and private supporters to accomplish its effective and innovative work. WHAT WILL I BE DOING? Upon arriving at Rosie's Place, head straight into the dining room -- the women at the front desk can give you direction. A staff member or experienced volunteer will give you an overview and answer any questions. While here, volunteers may assist with the preparation of the meal, serving soup or working the counter where the women will ask for various items like soap and shampoo. Volunteers serve the meals and, provided that there is food left over, volunteers are invited to sit and have a meal with the women. After the meal, volunteers collect the dishes for the dishwasher, clean the tables, drain the coffee maker, etc. This project will run from 5:00pm - 7:30pm...Rick

Bikes Not Bombs: Wednesday Volunteer Night!

As Raymond said, this is a "perpetual volunteer night!" Wednesday Volunteer Nights Get your hands dirty with a wrench, flattening bikes to prepare them for international shipment, stripping bikes for parts, or sorting used parts. Or, help our office staff with database updates or mailings. Anyone is welcome to drop in to the Bikes Not Bombs Hub between 7pm and 10pm, on every Wednesday night (barring special events and holidays). A supervisor will show you what to do, and no experience is required. You can also earn points to get parts or refurbished bikes, so don't forget to fill out a time sheet. Who We Are Bikes Not Bombs promotes bicycle technology as a concrete alternative to war and environmental destruction. For 25 years, BNB has been a nexus of bike recycling and community empowerment both in lower income neighborhoods of Boston and in the nations of the Global South. BNB's programs involve young people and adults in mutually respectful leadership development and environmental stewardship, while recycling thousands of bicycles. We currently receive approximately 6,000 used bicycles and tons of used parts each year. We ship about 4,800 of these bikes to economic development projects (micro-enterprise bike businesses, sustainable technology projects, and youth training programs) in Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, Guatemala, Nevis Island every year. BNB also sends technicians and tools for start-up projects to these same countries. (In the past we have worked in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and El Salvador, and we continue to accept new requests for assistance from projects in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa.) We use the remainder of our collected bikes at our Jamaica Plain Center; some are used in our co-ed youth Earn-A-Bike programs, and others are repaired by teenage mechanics as part of our Vocational Training programs and are for sale in our bike shop. BNB also offers girls-only programs all year round. We operate a full-service bike shop, staffed by local teen graduates of BNB training programs and supervised by professional adult bike mechanics. The shop repairs customer bikes, offers hard-to-find used parts and sells new parts, locks, accessories and refurbished bikes with a warranty. Shop specialties include renovated upright-bar 12 speeds, single-speed coasting and fixed-gear bikes, reconditioned mountain and hybrid models of all brands, and higher-end touring and road bikes. We sell frames alone, including used Titanium Merlin frames. The BNB Bicycle Shop and Training Center opened the doors of its new location in February, 2007. For more info, visit http://bikesnotbombs.org/ website. Please save gas by using public transportation to get to this event. The MBTA Trip Planner will help you do this.

A Discussion About Drugs

We will spend some time discussing whether drugs should be legal and examine the pros and cons of the current laws (both federal and state). Most of us will probably be against the full legalization of drugs so if you are in favor of it becoming legal please attend in order to make the discussion even more lively! More importantly we will share our own personal experiences with drugs discussing the good, the bad and the ugly. It could also be an opportunity for people who have never done drugs and never will but are curious to learn by listening about what it is like. Everything that is discussed at the meeting will be confidential.

WeÃ¯Â¿Â½ll have our own DJ, dance floor, bathrooms, appetizers, 2 bar areas, 3 bartenders, couches, and chairs, so this will truly be a private party. I pre-buy $350 for appetizers (wings, veggie platter, cheeses, etc.) in advance, since their kitchen is too small to accommodate food for 160 members. Food will be fuller this time, but there will be NO refills on food. A good reason to get there early and enjoy some food while it lasts. Note: Music will be at medium levels in the main room upstairs and turned off in the back room so members will have a separate area to chat. At 9PM the dancing + loud music starts. Please do not complain, since members come to dance to music at 9PM. To get in please tell security at the stairs you are with Social Fun to get in (even if you are with a different group). Go upstairs to meet/greet Biagio, your host for the night. Please introduce yourself, say what group you are with, and have a $5 bill in hand at the top of the stairs (no $1 bills, please). We cannot block the stairs and security will make members to go back downstairs if they take too long. 1. Everyone, but the invited Meetup Group Head Organizers, pays $5 cash. 2. After 9 p.m. you will have to pay another $5 cover charge to the bar, for a total cost of $10 ($5 to the bar and $5 to reimburse Biagio for renting the 2nd floor). 3. If you get in before 9PM you ONLY have to pay $5 to Biagio. 4. It will be packed. Get there early to ensure you can get in. 5. If you come after 8PM you might not get in right away and you will have to wait in line downstairs to go upstairs. 6. Tell security you are with Social Fun to get in - even if you are with a different group. With all that aside, if I have not scared you away, then please join us for all this fun on Friday, starting at 7:30PM till the cows come home.

Battle Road Trail walk

Battle Road Trail walk, second Saturday of each month. Meet in the visitor center parking lot then walk along the historic trail. MINUTE MAN NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK is located 22 miles outside of Boston within the towns of Lexington, Lincoln and Concord. The park commemorates the opening battles of the American Revolution on April 19, 1775 by protecting, preserving and interpreting the significant historic sites, structures, landscapes, events and ideas embodied by these events. This five mile trail connects historic sites from Meriam's Corner in Concord to the eastern boundary of the park in Lexington. The main theme of the trail is the Battle of April 19, 1775, that launched the American Revolution. More over, the trail interprets the broader human story of the people whose lives were altered by the events that took place here. Much of the trail follows original remnants of the Battle Road; other sections leave the historic road to follow the route of the Minute Men, traversing farming fields, wetlands, and forests. On April 19, 1775, British soldiers and American militia, "minute men" met in a series of skirmishes along a 22 mile stretch of road that ran from Boston to Concord. The American Revolution began at Lexington and Concord with a clash of arms known to history as "the shot heard round the world." At the Park the opening battle of the Revolution is brought to life as visitors explore the battlefields and witness the American revolutionary spirit through the writings of the Concord authors. Minute Man National Historical Park is home to many unique and interesting historic structures, interpretive walking trails and cultural landscapes. The park supports a variety of habitats. Forests are dominant, covering approximately 500 acres of the park, including about 200 acres of forested wetland. Non-forested wetlands, including several ponds, cover approximately 180 acres. Meadows and fields cover an additional 250 acres, including approximately 100 acres farmed under the park's agricultural leasing program. Shrubland also is present at the park, particularly at the interface of fields and forests. Developed areas, including roads, parking lots, and buildings, cover the remainder of the park. GETTING THERE From I-95: Take exit 30B to Route 2A west. Continue west on 2A for a half mile. http://www.nps.gov/mima/planyourvisit/upload/MIMA%20Park%20Map.pdf

JAWS

Very few films have the ability to instill deep rooted phobias in those who sit down to watch them. Steven Spielberg's 1975 classic, JAWS, terrified moviegoers to a point that almost crippled the shoreline tourism trade at the time of its release. Thirty-five years later, the thought of a wide-open and sharp-toothed abyss lurking just beneath the surface is still very present in the minds of any swimmer whose feet leave the safety of the sea-floor. Experience it on our big screen in honor of the film's 35th anniversary!

Multi group. HUGE celebration. Game night!

Meetup Game Nite 7 is coming! To see which groups are participating, and to learn more about this event, check out the official Meetup Game Night Website: mgn.cardsconversation.org Back by popular demand!!! Don't miss out on the event everyone is talking about. Join us for our next Meetup Game Nite in Boston. This is a great way to mix and mingle with old friends, meet new people, or perhaps learn something about other Meetup groups in the area! So grab your favorite board games, a deck of cards, and all of your friends for an early night on the town. This is a joint meetup with some of most popular Meetup groups in Boston. Also, MeetIn Boston and the Yelp community will also be participating! Here's some pictures from past Game Nites: Any card and board games are welcome. What to bring? Well, Apples to Apples and Catch Phrase are always a hit at MGN. Up for some strategy games? You'll see Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, and other board games being played. Those of you who love cards, but don't quite remember how to play, don't despair! Members of Boston Cards and Conversation are always willing to teach old and new card games. Mafia has been a hit at the past events and will surely be played again! So don't stay at home and watch TV, come out and have some FUN with us. And if you're going out on Friday night, the event is early enough that you can come socialize, play a few games, and then hit the town. So come for dinner, ice cream, or just games and socializing! Since this is an open event, come early, come late, stay for a bit, stay for the whole event, anything goes! Games last until 9:30pm or so, and many people go out for drinks and food at Legal Sea Food and Cheesecake Factory after the event... We'll meet in the rear of Food Court next to Pizzeria Regina. Look for the Meetup sign. Are you game??? HOW TO GET THERE By car: Here are some driving directions to the event. Street parking on Bolyston Street and the surrounding streets are available, but it is very limited, especially on a Friday night. Your best best will be to park at the Prudential Center garage, $12 with validation at any store or food vendor. For more information about parking at Prudential Center, visit their parking rates page. A map showing the parking garage entrances is here. The cheapest and most convenient way to get here is to carpool with a couple of friends -- when you split the cost of parking, it can be cheaper than the parking and taking the subway... By subway: If you are coming in via the subway, you have a number of great options: Green Line: For 'E' trains only, please use Prudential Station on Huntington Avenue. For all other Green Line trains, please use Copley on Boylston Street at Dartmouth Street (next to the Boston Public Library) or Hynes Convention Center on Massachusetts Avenue at Newbury Street. Orange Line or Commuter Rail: There's a direct underground connection between Copley Mall and Back Bay Station on the Orange and Purple Lines. From Copley Center you can cross the Copley Bridge into Prudential Center.

Winchester Fells Reservation Meander

Please join for us a <2 hour walk through the Middlesex Fells on the Fire Roads. Enjoy the beautful scenery from the comfort of the (relatively) flat dirt roads that surround the reservoirs. We'll start from the Long Pond Parking Lot at 9:00 am (leaving no later than 9:10). The plan will be to cut through the middle reservoir and circle back around the south reservoir. Dogs are very welcome If you want to cut the trip short, feel free to head back early. The pace will not be super fast (dogs get distracted and are distracting). A nice map of the Fells can be found here: http://www.fellsbiker... The Long Pond Parking lot is # 13 on the map (on the Northern end of South Border Road in Winchester) social fun Hope to see you on Saturday!

Catamount High Ropes and Zipline Course

Ropes and ziplines=challenge and fun! Catamount Adventure Park is a bit of a drive (145 miles from Boston) but we can catch the start of the leaves changing along the way, AND this park is well put together and has what we've been looking for-both ZIPS and ROPES. Plus a reasonable cost of $46! Set in a wooded 5-acre area, this park has 8 courses which vary in difficulty-much like ski trails do. We spend the first 20 minutes being fitted with safety harness which will be worn throughout-and getting briefed on the rules of the course. Then we proceed at our own pace-as a group. This is empowering and a blast!! We'll celebrate after at a local dining spot...

Hi, How are you? I decide to organize a social event. This is at one of my favorite restaurants, the Golden Temple. The green tea buckwheat noodles are succulent. The food is a great value and the restaurant is very popular. Great opportunity for you to meet new people and discover a new restaurant. We celebrated this same event last month. It was very popular and filled up quickly! :) Discover what people said about this event last time: http://www.bostonvolunteer.org/calendar/12162161/?action=detail&eventId=12162161 See you there! Josh P.S. We are growing so fast because most Boston Volunteers bring their friends to these celebrations. This is great! We are incredibly viral! :) Because so many people have been emailing me and mentioning that the celebrations fill up too quickly (before they have the opportunity to RSVP) I am limiting the number of guests to 8 per celebration. Our groups growth is incredible. Keep on inviting your friends. Limited eight per celebration! P.P.S. Can you take 3 seconds and click "share on Facebook" on the top right hand corner of your page. Be proud of your good deeds. Share them with your friends. Meetup makes it very quick and easy. Most Boston Volunteers are posting their volunteering on their Facebooks and this is why we are growing so fast. TOP right of this page. Be proud of yourself. I am proud of you. :) If you like tennis I also invite you to join The Brookline Tennis Meetup! Rapidly growing group. Discover who else: http://www.meetup.com/tennis-lovers/
