On Saturday May 20th representatives from about 15 groups around central and northern California will be meeting in San Francisco. We'll be sharing accomplishments, ongoing projects, goals, and issues with one another.

We have a special surprise,... Julian Darley, Celine Rich and Laura Bonenfant from Post Carbon Institute will be dropping in on the meeting to say hi
and see how our projects are doing. Yeah!

Important Notes:
1. The lunch will be a potluck, please bring food to feed 15 to 20 people... if you can make something that is "regionally grown" from your area, that would be awesome!
2. Bring your calendars, so we can set a time in September.
3. I've attached a note about the Harmony Festival. They are looking for people to "person" the table and get the info out about Peak Oil and Relocalizing... see attached.
4. There will be a data projector available, with medium sized screen.
5. The cost of the room will equal about $10 per person... please bring this in cash to pay back Richard katz.
