Social Action/Permaculture film follow up

[Sarah Klepner]

Greetings,

Thanks to all who came to last week's screening of Permaculture: the Growing Edge and to Sean Walsh for facilitating a lively discussion afterwards! More get-togethers are in the works (see below)..  

As was mentioned at the film, Transition Monmouth is a local group seeking to raise awareness of sustainable alternatives, including those offered by permaculture.  A couple of volunteers stepped forward at the film to help develop a time bank, an economically sustainable alternative. Thank you William and Bruce!  More volunteers are welcome..

One of our summer activities will be a Reskilling Series at the Eatontown farmers' market in Wampum Park (Rt 35 and West Street) on Sundays 11 am to 3 pm,  starting June 23. Reskilling is about learning how to make instead of buy, to repair instead of throw away- a key part of developing resilience.  We are planning to have a range of demonstrations, from homemade soap and textile arts, to local foraging and herbal medicine.  If you would like to help with the series, whether through doing a presentation or behind the scenes, please reply to this email   (one of our main needs is a 10-week loan of folding tables and chairs).   

For those who would like to continue discussing the meaning of permaculture and how it can be implemented here, etc- there are several ways to be in touch with others in the area.

 Facebook page: Greater Red Bank Transition Mullers aka Transition Monmouth.

List Serve:  Transition Red Bank: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/transition-red-bank   - this is a list serve started by people who got together during winter 2012 for vegan potlucks and discussion of the transition handbook. Kinda inactive right now but feel free to post-if a few people join, it can be revived..

We also have a google page (started and maintained by Wanna Smith): https://sites.google.com/site/transitionmonmouth/home, which has an assortment of useful info. 

 Transitionus.org and transitionnetwork.org are some general sites.

For another in-person gathering, Wendy Weiner, aka the Front Yard Farmer, a permaculturist in Marlboro, and one of Transition Monmouth's steering committee members, invites everyone over for a potluck and tour of her place later this month- she suggests a Monday or Wednesday evening- what are people's preferences?

thanks very much,

Sarah

Hi all

Yes. In in effort to create a more cohesive connected community we need to get together and break bread. Therefore I would like to open my home to all interested for a pot luck as Sarah mentioned. Lets see a show of hands of those who would would like to participate....
