Transition Initiatives Event March 2009

Happy Spring!

Please join us for the FREE
2009 Conversation Week Celebration & Transition Initiatives
Event in the Federal Hocking Valley!

Conversations, Storytelling, Presentations, Information Displays & Free Food!

What do humans need to do to adapt to survive the changes predicted for this century?

How did folks in our area get-by in the past?

What are we already doing to prepare our families and
what else can we do to ensure health, safety and great resiliency in our communities?

We live in very interesting times with great challenges and opportunities. No one knows THE answer, but everyone holds a piece of the answer. You can say your piece during Conversation Week. In addition, the Transition Initiatives movement provides us with a positive, goal-oriented approach and some great gear for our journey ahead.
