This is the 'kick-off' meeting prior to the official Transition Whatcom Council meeting called for in our organization document. This meeting will call together the TWOG, TWIG, Theme Group leaders, WorkGroup Leaders and any other interested Transition Whatcom members to discuss the official Council meeting to be called in January.
The meeting will start with a lunch ‘pot-luck’ and ‘mingle’ hour and then a proposal from the TWOG on the goals and objectives, agenda and expectations for the Council meeting. Discussion of the proposal and any suggestions or changes will be followed by a vote to help guide the TWOG on calling the official Council meeting.
Please indicate if you plan to attend so we can find a suitable meeting space.

I've decided to remain home today to nurse the flu. I'm sending you all love and light, and the hope for clear and productive discussion!
