transitionnorthfield Mailing List: Soup supper Friday 5-7-10 Karen's house 6 pm

[Angel Dobrow (adobrow]

Yikes! So much is happening: Earth Day...permaculture workshops...early 
spring...

We hope you can still take time for a simple supper and discussion on Energy 
Descent Action Plans. Our discussion will coincide with Transition Totnes plan 
to roll out their EDAP on Friday. We will bring news of that document if 
available. As always, friends and family are welcome.

So, attached are several items pertaining to EDAPs; including a personal EDAP. 
Interestingly, it was a bit of a challenge to find info because it's still a 
pretty new concept.

So have at the readings, come ready with questions and ideas to share.

RSVP so we can have enough food!

Peace--Angel and Karen
