X-Message-Number: 8234 Date: Thu, 22 May 1997 10:35:19 -0700 From: Tim Freeman <> Subject: Life Extension Fellowship of Silicon Valley - brunch, then party Last Sunday's brunch was a success. I estimate there were 18 people there. We took over a row of tables in the quarter of the restaurant furthest from the exit of the cafeteria line. Let's do it again this Sunday, then have a meeting to help people finish their cryonics paperwork the Sunday after that. In the long term, I suggest alternating social brunches with meetings focused on particular topics. The location and time for this Sunday's brunch is the same as last time: When: 11am, Sunday, May 25 Where: Fresh Choice 2540 W. El Camino Real Mountain View, CA The meeting for helping people with cryonics paperwork will be the Sunday afterward (6/1/97) somewhere near Sunnyvale, to be determined. To set it up, here's the help I need -- Recommendations for a life insurance agent to invite. Recommendations for a notary to invite. Responses from people who plan to come saying whether they will need to talk to the life insurance agent and how many notarizations they need. I'll add up the responses I get, and provide the totals to the life insurance agent and notary so they will know how much money they'll make by showing up. Pointers to good web sites for life insurance shopping, so people will be informed shoppers when they talk to the life insurance agent. If you want to get signed up for cryonics and you don't have the blank forms in your hands, you could still finish the paperwork at this meeting if you choose a cryonics organization and contact it now to get the paperwork. There will, of course, be at least a few people somewhat knowledgeable about cryonics at this meeting. If you have questions about it, it would be good to come and ask them so people have something to talk about while filling out the boring paperwork. I will also try to have equipment on hand for generating a "Certificate of Religious Belief" that is the right size and durability for paperclipping to a drivers license. This is good to have because it is likely to prevent an autopsy if you have a traffic accident. I'll send out a separate announcement with the details for this within a week. -- Tim Freeman http://www.infoscreen.com/resume.html Web-centered Java and Perl programming in Silicon Valley or offsite Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=8234
