Hi! My name is Amanda Winters. I am a Professional Counselor and 'Social' Worker who created the 'Catalyst for Fun' newsletter out of my passion for connecting people with each other with community resources such as progressive political activities, spiritual philosophy and personal growth opportunities AND parties and festivals (since I believe that 'Should a party break out, we should be prepared!")Together I hope we can share ways, through this forum, to create a more peace-filled and unified world.

*Update on Newsletter: 5/28/09--The newsletter usually goes out about once a week to over 1000 Austinites.This summer (June, 2009), I am on a bit of a hiatus with the newsletter while I mull my options over for the future and do some traveling. ***For those of you wanting to join a group to exchange announcements amongst yourselves, I created a group you can join to do so at:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Catalystforfundiscussiongroup
