We are currently in the “mulling” stage of trying to figure
out if we want to become a formal Transition Initiative. While we mull, we currently typically meet
every other Monday evening, in members houses, local coffee shops, parks, and various
community meeting places to get together and share ideas, watch movies, share
the bounty from our gardens and our gardening knowledge, practice permaculture,
talk about climate change and peak oil, share resources, learn to forage, and support
each other to transition to a more conscious way of life.
We have folks who have attended our gatherings from Coon Rapids,
Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Shoreview, Andover, Anoka, Ramsey, East Bethel, Fridley,
New Brighton, Stillwater, Minneapolis, and St. Paul - and folks from anywhere
are always welcome! Many of our
gatherings are typically held in Coon Rapids or Blaine. Because of the large area our members come
from, we tend to focus more on connecting with the people that come to our
gatherings than we do on connecting with the large number of institutions that
exist in our communities. We have been
meeting since the Fall of 2013 and typically anywhere from 5 to 15 people will
attend our gatherings.
The best way to find out when and where we will meet would
be to join the 40 people on our email list by sending Tom Jablonski a request
to get on the list at Jablonski@usfamily.net. We also have a Facebook page where we share
information which is available here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/203339686518932/
and we also have a blog available here: http://transitionnorthtc.blogspot.com/
. And for those without access to the
internet, feel free to give Tom a call at 763-807-3698 and he will be glad to
give you telephone updates on our next gathering.
