Is that why you suggested that the transition US folks maybe meet as a subgroup in reply to my original suggestion for getting together as transitionus? Well, let's see what happens. Ruth Ann

Mike, while I agree there is a ton of overlap between environment/social/technical/building/... events, but plenty of events are not necessarily relevant. We do post relevant hearings with the City Council or neighborhood association events, but don't post the hearings that are strictly administrative in nature.

Jeremy et al,

While I understand your attempts to organize with "environmental events", I would like to pose the following question:

What interaction, ambient to imagined/real discrete (i.e. event or tangible matter) is NOT environmental?

;-)

TheDirt.org is a website of environmental events in the Portland area, which hosts the webpage(s) for Transition PDX and the Portland Permaculture Guild. No relationship as of yet with Transition US.

Not clear on relationship among thedirt and transitionpdx and transitionus.

I'm game for a subgroup meeting and invite folks to attend some of the Transition PDX events in the next few weeks - http://www.thedirt.org/tpdx

Maybe we use this subgroup to have a face-to-face meeting here in Portland to do some strategic doing around basic questions: What could we do together? (exploring our assets to find new opportunities; what should we do together? (focus on one opportunity); What will we do together? (new initiative); and what are we learning together? (learning what works by executing and measuring what happens). Just a suggestion. Ruth Ann

Hello everyone,

I would like to update you all on the sustainability fair here in Welches Oregon on April 24 from 9-4.
On December 17 we judged the contest naming the the event. We had quite a few entries from our local elementary school.
The winner was 2nd grader Benny Cox (see photo below). The name Benny gave us is ....

"Mt Hood Green Scene".

The planning is proceeding well. We have decided to move the event into the bigger auditorium/gym at our middle school due to the amount of interest and the number of groups participating.

The Green Scene will consist of recycling, a sustainability fair, activities and games for children, friends of the library book sale and an exhibits of high school and middle school student sustainability projects.

Our next community planning meeting is scheduled for Jan 6 at 7pm at the Welches school library

Our first newspaper ad will be published in the February edition of the mountain times. I would like to try and finalize all the participants by January 15. If your organization can not make a decision prior to that - we will still try to hold space for you. I will be calling some of you prior to January 15.
