Farmers Market Opens and other June Events

Hello all, I just sent out the invitation to the June Meetings and I promised a link to the farmer's markets around town. So here is a list created by one of the vendors, and it has a lovely personal commentary on each of the markets based on her perspective as a visitor. Thanks to Patty from Lola Canola Honey for this great summary!

We also wanted to let you know that we are going to have a party in July!!! It will be at Riverdale Hall, and there will be locally produced food, and *drinks*, games for young and old, live music, and a green business trade fair. Tickets will go on sale soon. Stay tuned for full details.

Our Green Business meeting is on June 2 - and features Stephani Carter of Green Alberta and EcoAmmo. Details are in the calendar at right.

Our community meeting is on June 18 - and the topic is Greening Your Home. Come and hear three of our resident experts on reducing your footprint, renovating green, and choosing green, ethival and healthy materials for inside and outside your home. Our guest presenters are Stephani Carter, Andrea Jones and Godo and Shanthu.

On June 25, We are happy to present Mike Nickerson who is touring with his latest book, "Life, Money & Illusion: Living on Earth as if we want to stay." The book details the differing views on how to be successful in our changing times. One, the "Life" perspective, says we need to preserve and enhance ecosystems and communities, the other, the "Money" perspective, says we need to continuously expand production and consumption.

The event will be a talk and discussion about how these two approaches differ significantly on how to deal with today's most serious problems. "Life, Money & Illusion" outlines new ways of organizing mutual provision (the economy) and a change in priorities that can lead to a long and joyous future.

The presentation will be at the Village and starts at 7pm.

We look forward to seeing you at the meetings!
