Picnic in the Park

On August 7th, the APCC gathered in Washington Headquarters on Liberty Street in Newburgh for a Potluck/Picnic. We set up a table with FREE home cooked food, literature & zines about a variety of social/political topics, as well as blankets and toys such as; a frisbee, unicycle, juggling balls, chess and guitars to keep us busy. Outside the gates along Liberty were street musicians serenading the city which was a nice surprise for us. Although attendance was pretty low within the park, it was a great time!

This fall we are planning a REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET and invite everyone to come. The RRFM is like a yard sale with NO money. People bring unwanted items to give away and leave with something they do want. We plan to have live acoustic music, FREE food and drinks, as well as anything people bring to give away. If you would like to help with this event, please contact us directly.

We will have more details soon...
