Join Us This Sunday for Discussion on Buckminster Fuller

Posted on January 21, 2012 | Leave a comment

Join us this Sunday for a video & group discussion on Richard Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller (July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983)  an American systems theorist, architect, engineer, author, designer, inventor, and futurist.

Fuller published more than 30 books, inventing and popularizing terms such as “Spaceship Earth“, ephemeralization, and synergetic. He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, the best known of which is the geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their resemblance to geodesic spheres.

The Montreal Biosphère by Buckminster Fuller, 1967

If you have never experienced a Drumming Circle or have felt awkward about participating, Sunday will be a great opportunity for you. Marlene & Ed Boas will be bringing their drums and expertise to our UU Fellowship tomorrow.

Doing something for the first time can be uncomfortable, but Ed does such a wonderful job of keeping the activity fun and non-threatening. He offers just enough instruction and direction to include even the most inexperienced and hesitant of first-timers.

PLEASE JOIN US — and bring some
friends!!! — for a very enjoyable, exuberant, worthwhile presentation!

Lou Young will be bringing his newly-arrived order of Fair Trade coffee & tea, gift wrap, “Fair Trade” totes, etc.
