Are you a current or former healthcare professional? Do you think there may be more protests this fall — and if so, would you like to be more involved?

Street medics support protesters at actions, and Follen is hosting a 1-day training for healthcare professionals. For more info or to sign up, send email to mtm@follen.org.

Other congregations (FP Bedford, Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Arlington, Temple Shalom Emeth, Congregation Dorshei Tzedek) will be invited as well. If you have healthcare professional (either current or former) friends who’d be interested, also have them ping mtm@follen.org.

Come to whichever session is more convenient — only 1 day is needed.

Topics include:

• ethics
• legal awareness
• how street medics operate on the streets

Come one, come all! There will be a family-friendly dinner as well as soup, cider & munchies.

Please plan to bring your own pumpkin, and we’ll have tools and tealights for carving your Jack-o-Lantern masterpieces. After dark we’ll line up the pumpkins for a picture in front of the church. Costumes are optional.

For parents/guardians — please plan to stay with your child(ren), as this in not a drop-off event.

To volunteer to help with this event, please email socialevents@follen.org. This event is coordinated by our amazing Social Events Committee.

We’re looking for storytellers and musical performers. Have a funny, heartfelt, embarrassing, or unforgettable story to share? Start thinking about it over the summer!

What story have you been waiting to tell? Or perhaps more importantly… What were you thinking???
