Grace Ross makes a presentation on the issue of foreclosures to the Occupy Hyannis General Assemblyat the Calvary Baptist Church, Lincoln Road & West Main Street on 1/28/12

Pastor Bruce Smith stands in essentially the same spot amidst the charred remains of his church on 3/15/12.  Occupy Hyannis held GeneralAssembly meetings at Reverend Smith's church every week since 10/21/11---rent free.  The pastor opened his most generous arms (asking nothing in return) and gave us the use of his property (we also set up tent encampments on the church's lawn.)
