Quote for the day


"I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness, no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against, if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that itself creates new potential."
 ― Vandana Shiva

Monday March 14 Meeting

Our next Transition meeting will be tomorrow Monday  March 14th from 6:30 to around 9 p.m..  It will be held in the community room of the Cub Foods located at 2050 Northdale Blvd in the Village 10 Center in Coon Rapids.  The community/conference room is located up the stairs located to the left of the checkout lanes as you enter the store. 
 

For this meeting how about we have a show and tell night.  Bring along an idea, book, event, project, practice, or something else related to how you have, will, or would like to transition to a more local/sustainable way of life.  This could be related to growing or obtaining local food, making or repairing items instead of purchasing new, energy saving practices, community creation events, spiritual practices that help you stay centered, etc.
