We took a few minutes to introduce ourselves to one another and then watched In Transition 1.0, a documentary about the Transition Town Movement and what it is all about. Transition 1.0 makes it clear that the Transition Movement is about far more than just community gardening or Time Banking. it is about everything that provides us with greater community resilience. The concept of resilience is quite compelling and gives our group something to strive for in all our community involvement. Resilience is an excellent solution to many of the challeges presented by fossil fuel depletion, climate change and economic uncertainty.
After the movie we discussed chickens, the community garden at Diana's house, the Saint Clair Shores Time Bank, how to work together and communicate more effectively as a group.
Transition Saint Clair Shores will also be meeting again today, March 1st, from 5pm-7pm at Cafe Far Bella at the intersectiohn of 9 & Mack Drive and Clairwood St in Saint Clair Shores. This meeting will be an open ended social gathering with no agenda just to provide an opportunity to socialize and share ideas.
Thank you to all that attended the meeting last night. Hope to see you soon and please feel free to comment on this blog post with any comments or feedback about the meeting.
