(Program begins at 7:30 P.M.) Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim 511 South Harbor Blvd. Anaheim, California (Located on the Southwest corner of Harbor Blvd. and Santa Ana Street) (714) 758-1050 www.uuchurchoc.org The \\"Potluck for Progressives\\" is a group organized for the purpose of bringing together likeminded people on a weekly basis to break bread and talk about crucial issues affecting the community and the world. At each meeting, people interested in peace, social justice, labor, and the environment gather to exchange ideas, talk about successes, plan actions, or just engage in a friendly discussion with one another. Bring a dish to share! Enjoy the bounty that others bring as well! The potluck will start at 6:30 p.m. with a speaker or film to follow at 7:30 p.m. Please join us even if you can\\'t bring any food! On the Agenda: Progressive Potluck 6:30 - 7:30 P.M. Bring along your favorite dish of food, chips, dips, or soft drinks, and spend an hour mingling with progressive people from all over Orange County. Featured Speakers: 7:30 - 8:30 P.M. In February 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger used the power of his office to declare that California was going through a \\"statewide drought emergency,\\" urging local municipalities to cut their use of water as much as 20 percent and streamlining the state\\'s regulatory approval process for any projects related to drought relief or increasing water supply, such as desalination and water recycling plants. Here in Orange County, Poseidon Resources, a large multinational corporation whose headquarters are based in Stamford, Connecticut, is currently in the process of securing the final permits from state and local agencies to construct a 0 million desalination plant in Huntington Beach. This controversial project has been touted by proponents as one way of addressing the state\\'s \\"water crisis.\\" But does it really? Joe Geever, California Policy Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, will do a presentation on the problems of desalination, pointing out the huge energy costs and adverse environmental impacts that Poseidon\\'s plant will have upon aquatic life that live along the coast. He\\'ll argue desalination plants are wholly unnecessary and that the state\\'s \\"water crisis\\" is largely due to gross mismanagement of this vital public resource. Geever will be also be joined by John Scott, a member of Residents for Responsible Desalination, and John Earl, Editor and Publisher of ocvoice.com, both of whom will address further issues pertaining to desalination, including the taxpayer subsidies Poseidon wants to build its plant to the threat this scheme -- an attempt by a corporation to \\"privatize\\" a public resource -- poses to the basic concept that water is a fundamental human right that should be owned and managed by the public. Open Forum 8:30 - 9:15 P.M. Open discussion, announcements, and other news of interest. The \\"Potluck for Progressives\\" is endorsed by the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim and is free and open to the general public. Although a small donation might be requested to help pay for facility costs, nobody will be turned away due to a lack of funds. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=100000031433391&ref=profile http://twitter.com/davidaquinley
