APPLE Bloomington and Permaculture Guild Meeting

Special Notice to APPLE Bloomington Relocalization Members and Crawfordsville Members: Please join us if you can this Saturday the 26th for a joint meeting with the Bloomington Permaculture Guild plus a movie and potluck. This will be the first opportunity for local APPLE members to get together and meet and collaborate with strong allies.
Agenda will be to MEET each other and plan our next meeting. Beyond that, we're free to make it up as we go.

BPG agenda:
12-1 Set up/informal gathering
1-3 movie: I thought I might introduce how we came to show the movie, briefly define permaculture/the guild, and explain the day's agenda.
3-? community discussion (I imagined that people will need a chance to react and also that we might gather together information about initiatives in this area that begin to respond to what is presented in the movie) -- possibly create a working group to support other initiatives?
?-5 meeting/potluck -- this means the community at large would be welcome to stay for our meeting.

Noon to 5PM
What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire by T.S. Bennett. Showing in the first floor auditorium, Monroe Co Public Library. This 123 minute film is a fast-paced look at the synergy of challenges facing humans today -- especially Americans. For some of us it is familiar, but seeing it all put together visually is valuable. For those that are just beginning to think about these issues, it is eye opening. And it is a challenge to all of us to think of how to move forward together in community. For this reason, we want to bring in as much of the regional community to watch it and discuss as possible. After the film, we're hoping to do some brainstorming and talking together.
