</p><p>Bring your favorite game or check out the assortment of fun
we'll have on hand: Frisbees, kickball & chalk (for 4-square!), jump
rope, basketball, softball (bring a glove) and whatever other
randomness we can think of. If it's hot we can run through the fountain
sprinkler to cool off. Around 1pm, we'll likely get out of the heat by
going to Ula Cafe for lunch.<br>

<p><b>SKILLSHARE: SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTING </b>by Joby Gelbspan<br><b>Monday, July 11 - 6:00PM<br></b>The NonProfit Center (by South Station)</p><p>
<i>Uncertain how to work towards a secure financial future while
living out your values?</i> <i>Don't miss this skillshare!</i> <br>How do we manage our finances to best sustain ourselves and
support our vision of a more just economy? This is a chance to
learn investment basics and discuss financial management with a
local progressive activist and finance professional. No prior
knowledge expected: we'll start with fundamentals and definitions.
Participants should come away with a more intuitive sense of how to
use investments, and ideas about how to research and choose between
different financial tools without checking your politics at the
door.
