Folks,

Sometimes there’s just too much going on for us to make time to update the website.  So if it looks like our blog has run out of ink, well, it might have.

Seriously, don’t expect to find out here what we’re up to.  The best way to be in the Traction loop is to get on our mailing list.  Write to: tractivist*at*getTraction^dot^org.

It’s going to be a gorgeous Memorial Day weekend. Come on out on Monday and enjoy two local treasures: the Eno River and the Traction community…

What: Memorial Day shindig
When: Monday, 5/28 starting at 1pm
Where: West Point Park (site of the famous Festival for the Eno)
5101 N. Roxboro Rd. in Durham

We’ll swim, eat good food, play frisbee and badminton, maybe sing too. So bring a dish to share* and a musical instrument if you have one. And kids!!

And because it’s Memorial Day, we’ll have postcards to sign to send to our troops to thank them for their service, and ways for you to come back after the 3-day weekend and put your shoulder to the grindstone to bring our troops home. (Opposition to Iraq is at an all-time high. We are not alone.)

RSVPs and volunteers make our day. Write to shindig-at-getTraction-dot-org (Go
ahead, make our day.) Same if you need directions or a map.

*Careful about food that could go bad in the sun — we don’t want any bad picnic incidents… Avoid those dishes or bring your own cooler.

See you Monday!

P.S. Whatever you do, please remember the origin of this holiday.
