Last Sunday in April – Put it on your calendar now.  Free Market of Melbourne and Palm Bay Up and Running.  The first “Free Market of Melbourne/Palm Bay” is the last Sunday in April. The RRFM will be at Holmes Park, often Called Manatee Park, in downtown Melbourne. This time will coincide with Food Not Bombs so we can be sure we’ll be better serving the public by having food as well as goods and skills.  What do we need now? Networking and promotion. Let people know it is happening and it will be ongoing. Have them bring stuff, put of the yard sale, get that spring cleaning done.

Skills? Bring them on. Fun skills. Serious skills. Play an instrument? Bring them. Why? Why not?  Information tables? Of course.  Bring everything but leave your wallet at home.

We need flyers.  Nothing fancy. Just make up something and get it out there. Make them on your computer and send them in email. Make invitations, talk to businesses. The more people who do this, the larger and more ubiquitous it seems. That means more folk and more goods and more things changing hands and more people taken care of.  More goods and services and energy circulating.

REMEMBER: The RRFM IS the message and the last thing we want is to cover that message or create division with soapboxing.   Here is a sample of  the text you can use. or just use this as it is, if you like:  It’s like a potluck–everyone brings something and leaves with more. We all have skills, ideas, objects, talents, smiles, friendship, excitement, discussions and many other things to share. If we bring them together at the REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET, we can provide more balanced and full lives for all of us.

Bring food, music, clothes, furniture, toys, skills and thrills and anything else you can GIVE, SHARE or BARTER.

Holmes Park, 914 Melbourne Avenue, Melbourne. 1 to 4 pm.

If you can’t make this one, it’s always the last Sunday of every month.
