DEAR BEACHHEAD NEW GENERATIONERS:

May a public voice of poem be manifested in all manners, evolutions, here, always.
May the little public prayer submitted for Septembre 2002 and other such reminders, help to keep priorities of wishing well, in all projects.

This “letter” is from an old “granny”, one of the founders of FREEVENICE THE BEACHHEAD.

You have @ 36 papers of copies of information of recent and older years submitted in time.

Now here B/W copies of the entire 1977 BEACHHEAD to draw upon… and other filler pages, plus copies of 3 of fliers I did for the 5 events I did for the 20th anniversary of the BEACHHEAD in 1988, along with the page for the papers 20th anniversary issue, that I did, for the Decembre 1988.

And you have copies of 3 fliers I did for 7 of my Venice Historical Community Video tapes. 2 were for the BEACHHEAD’s 20th anniversary with as many of the various collectives, still in this world I could gather in 1996, knowing Rick Davidson would soon leave this world, founder of Peace & Freedom Party. Free Venice, The FREE VENICE BEACHHEAD and many cultural and civil rights organizations and work, here.

The 3 tapes (2 B/W, 1 Colour) have had copies donated to Lucille our librarian and can be ARRANGED to be seen at the library: 821-1769: NO copying in any form of the videos or graphics of them may occur at all.
The totality of horrendous “development” is war zone life and pollutions, all our taxes at work have it all set to inundate all life… Actually. The shreds of “wildlife” here are nearly gone. The poverty of the mass of people here, everywhere, is due to the like of “our taxes at work.” The powers that be do not live or work with perceptions of “big pictures”… They keep everything to one comment on one aspect at a time; and adore reactionism…

Once again: The personal is the political
Be well, new ones –

Mary Jane

P.S. Carol Fondiller is a worldwide treasure. She has perspective, humour, wit, and writing! Her commitment to community expression, needs, cultural essences is a gift to everyone….

It's Great to see the Beachhead in print again.!!

free spirit of Venice

Hello,
I just had a nice look at your website and organization. I think that its great what you are doing. I think that the free spirit of Venice and the world depends on people like yourselves.

One of my interests in Venice has been to preserve the right of the Venice Beach Drumcircle to continue to drum on weekends. There was a strong opposition mounting from a group of people who wanted to gentrify the beach. I helped oppose them in my way with my website which is devoted to our documentary film about the Venice Beach Boardwalk and the Drumcircle.

The Guestbook has many thoughts from people all over the world about Venice issues and some world peace issues. I would like to invite you to comment in our Guestbook which is shared with the Venicebeachdrumcircle.com website. You could also invite people to visit your website if you like. If you'd like to make a link to our site that would be nice too. My website is at: <www.medicinebowgallery.com>.
Please keep up your good work.

BRAVO BEACHHEAD!

DREAMS DO COME TRUE -- and MIRACLES and MAGIC too! Carol’s back on page ONE -- where she belongs! (The PEN IS more powerful than the PEN IS, Carol.) Our fine friend, Mary Getlein sent me issues 1 & 2. “THANK YOU”, “THANK YOU”, Mary! And “THANK YOU”, Dewey -- “I love you, man!” Where have ALL the other ‘GOOD GUYS’ gone? (Those who are NOT in heaven -- that is.) May this ‘Love Letter’ reach:

My Dearest Family -- of Friends,
“The TRIP” never ends...
Tho’ those ‘cross-country junkets’ are over!
So, Blow me a Kiss!
And Promise me this:
You’ll find me, when you come to Florida...
Love,

Tina Catalina Corcoran

P.S. I got me a house, Instead of a view!
I bought me one ‘sweet home’ where I can
Entertain YOU --
In style... Come, Stay awhile... Whenever... Forever,

Tina
