Burn on the Bayou recap

Last night we had 14 people from the Boulder community join us to watch Burn on the Bayou. The movie documented the efforts of a group of Burning Man participants who traveled to Louisiana because they felt the need to do something in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Upon arrival in Biloxi, the group rebuilt a local Buddhist temple and gave the local residents hope. Out of their efforts was born, Burners without Borders, a loose knit organization of Burners that extend their volunteering past the borders of Black Rock City.

After the viewing of the movie, we discussed what we could do in and around Boulder. Helping the homeless, helping the elderly, food drives, community beautification projects, helping low income families, environmental cleanup, etc. Art, Community and the Environment were the three main topics of discussion.

Log on to Boulder Burns for the full recap that will be posted today. The BurnWorks will be showing the movie again next Tuesday at 7:00pm with another community discussion at 8:30 on how we can get involved in our own community. Thanks to all that came out!
