Holiday sales coming up
Transition KW
Greetings Transitioners!
We had our last movie night this past Wednesday, and we wrote about it here. We asked attendees to provide us with their wishes for future movie nights. We hope that 2014 will bring us a new version of the movie nights, and we hope you’ll stay tuned to see how that goes, and be part of making that an even better event for our community. The night included food and prizes, so I would like to send out a thank you to our prize donors: Waste Management Waterloo Region, Alternatives Journal,Seven Shores, Queen Street Yoga, Baileys Local Foods and Reduce the Juice.
Coming up in December: not too much for Transition! We’ll be taking a break from running events, but will have Christmas part on December 13 to celebrate our previous years. Mark your calendars for that - more details coming soon! Below, check out some community events and volunteer corner!
