Are you interested in the preservation of our species?  Yes?  Then join the Portland Zeitgeist Movement!  This group intends to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the avocation of the most current understandings of who and what we are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth.  They will meet tonight, June 3rd at 6:30 PM at the McMenamins at 1526 S.W. 10th in Portland.  This is an organizational meeting; help get Portland Zeitgeist off the ground!
