Is anyone interested in a Pot Luck in January?

Comment by Steve Saint on July 2, 2010 at 10:12am: How did the class go? Well, yes, we've been running a "centralized events calendar" at the GCC site for almost two years. I'd love help keeping it updated and getting the word out so people actually use it! ; )

Comment by Steve Saint on June 28, 2010 at 3:11pm: Thanks for coming on the hike, Eric. We'll do another I'm sure - as well as a Northwest Earth Institute course on "A Sense of Place." Anyone from the east side of town is welcome - everybody else, too!

Comment by Dave Gardner on June 22, 2010 at 12:50pm: I'm looking for good re-skilling training activities to shoot as role models representing Transition Town activities for my documentary, Hooked on Growth. I encourage all to alert me when they have something coming up (the mutton processing would have been great). Thanks!

Comment by Rebecca Hodge on April 5, 2010 at 11:30pm: I'm glad to hear this, Eric! Pikes Peak Urban Gardens has a new video about a lot of new project they are involved in. I heard of this from John Conners facebook page, and then from PPUG's page.

Doing any rainwater harvesting? John Conner's suggested to me the site by Brad Lancaster about this. Just google his name if interested, or maybe you've heard of him. That's cool. Found a really neat and not too expensive set up for rainwater harvesting. Have it ordered.

To all of you out there....keep up the interest, ideas and good work!

Comment by Margaret Beers Oliver on March 12, 2010 at 10:16am: Already a Grandma... but at least my oldest Granddaughter has brought up the question that she may not have kids. I am fine with it as is my daughter. The video looks like you had a great time making it.

Comment by Rebecca Hodge on March 12, 2010 at 7:18am: Looked at the video, Dave. Great! I recognized most of the place. I've told both my children, who are adults, that it is just fine that I'm never a grandmother. Point seen and taken, and trying to pass it on.

Comment by Dave Gardner on March 12, 2010 at 5:56am: This group might be especially interested in my new YouTube video shot in Colorado Springs! Endangered Species Condoms
