A home for unconquered minds!

For seven years, this is where free-minded people in Lane County  
exchange ideas and mutual support for a nonviolent revolution in  
mental health care.

ALL are welcome, especially mental health consumers, psychiatric  
survivors and allies.

This will be the 78th successful free monthly First Wednesday Round  
Table sponsored by MindFreedom Lane County, an affiliate of MFI, an  
independent nonprofit coalition based in Eugene, Oregon, USA.

MindFreedom International, based here in Eugene, unites members,  
sponsors and affiliates around the world.

    WHERE DO I PARK?

* Five FREE spots for Growers office building guests are marked  
"reserved" to the north of building against the fence on the west edge  
of the Amtrak parking lot by the chain link fence.

* We've never heard of a parking meter ticket after 5 pm. All meters  
are officially free at 6 pm.

* If these spots are full, there are free parking spaces on any side  
street starting one block to the west starting at Charnelton St. north
