Potlucks: Planning for “The Day After”

November 1983

Historical November 1983 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

On Nov. 2 and 3, the St. Louisans for a Nuclear Weapons Freeze will hold potluck dinners in each of the three congressional districts.

The dinners for the 1st Congressional District will be held on Nov. 3; there will be a luncheon meeting at which children are welcome and two evening choices. Several topics will be discussed at the potlucks.

First, on Nov. 20, ABC-TV will air a film drama entitled “The Day After,” which depicts the aftermath of a nuclear explosion over Lawrence, Kansas. “The Day After” is a very powerful film and is likely to leave people feeling helpless.

It is the Committee’s hope that people throughout St. Louis will meet in small neighborhood gatherings to watch the movie.

At the potlucks, discussion will be about how the Committee can facilitate discussions after the film, where viewings can be held, and how to get people to come to them. Secondly, strategies for building neighborhood organizations in 1984 will be discussed.

For information on times and places of the potlucks, call Kathy Spaar or Teka Childress at 862-5770.
