Ten people attending the meeting discussed many tasks about laying groundwork for local divestment, media work, material aid campaign, outreach, and educational work. The SWAPO representative will speak at Mount Holyoke and Hampshire College; Judy Weiss will be responsible for making a banner. John Howley will coordinate a special Southern Africa newsletter for the Two Weeks of Action, and Steve will coordinate publicity for that and the African National Congress (ANC) and SWAPO speaking engagements. There will be literature tables on March 29 and March 31. Pictures and several media presentations will be shown continuously during week of April 5 from 9 until 3:30 p.m. Geoff is conducting a fact finding mission to research a material aid campaign. Mary Ann gave an update on Massachusetts Divest. On March 9, SASC and other groups will picket the Old Colony Bank in the Hampshire Mall. Other options for regular picketing are Pay Saver and Stop and Shop (Nestles). There was long discussion on the need to increase outreach and educational work among those who live on campus, churches, and college faculty and staff. It was decided to form a speakers' bureau committee and to develop and distribute a resource list.
