In my final post in the Holiday Smorgasbord series, I want to share two articles that are each directed at (and finding fault with) different ends of the political spectrum. I don’t think the point of either of these articles is to demonize individuals who embrace either conservatism or liberalism, but rather to point out that in general we are not being served by the mainstream political discourse from either perspective. I find these articles…

I joined in part to stay in touch with you, in part to stay in touch with the good work. My old e-mail died and I forgot to copy you over to the new one. Please send your snail mail address to theiman52 at yahoo dot com so I can send you Christmas/New Years propaganda. Life is good here, I hope it is for you as well.
Hi David, Would you be willing to send out an invitation to your TW friends list, for the Skillshare Event – When you think the event page is ready to go broader. Its only 2 months before the faire date.
If I understood correctly, you will also post Larry Korns talk at Village Books. That is so helpful and I know Larry would appreciate it.
Re the Skillshare event posting on our TW site.....There is a small volunteer team that has worked hard on the website....On my posting on TW, I've tried to keep it simple and to direct people to the main website- http://whatcomskillsharefaire.org/sponsors.html I've now added a line on the TW event page that states its a TW sponsored event.
I'm not sure who is taking the lead on seeking sponsors – check with Tom, my guess is we could really use your volunteer support with this, and with seeking skillshare presentors!
I'm waiting for an updated picture to add to the TW skillshare page ...I've requested Brian K to look in his files, and am also waiting to hear back from webteam for a link.
I will be traveling for a week and return late July. ...It would be great to have your backup on this event page while I'm traveling (or offline)...please be sure any changes made are in near consensus with the planning team, as we're working hard to be a functioning collective.
Hi David, I need some help. Would you request TW admin team to sponsor these two events? Natural-farming http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/natural-farming-observations-with-larry-korn-at-inspiration-farm and
Whatcom Skillshare http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/whatcom-skillshare-faire
I recall you sharing in the past that TW wants an online form filled out Before they will sponsor an event.
It would be so helpful if you or another computer person would fill out that TW form for these two events, all the info needed should be right on the event page or website.
Link possibly here- https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFNPT1JiTWNvdjhsOGhKWEcyU3V1eEE6MQ
I believe both events would welcome sponsorship by Transition Whatcom.
If the TW team is interested in this, sponsorship could be as simple as providing a donation (USD) towards the event (whatever amount team decide would be appreciated), and to also help with promotion by placing the events as featured events.
The Skillshare event is looking for more volunteers, if there is an aspect of being involved in event preparation or at the event that you are especially called to, we would so welcome you!
At this point, phoning Tom may be the best way to plug in, and asking to be on the planning team email list.
Hey David - hope you have a great birthday tomorrow!
Transition Whatcom now has 1,000 members!
Thanks for your vision & work David!
Hi David, I just posted my response to Juliet's Twog Blog. I did not see your response as I was writing it...I'll read over what you've written later.
Thanks for all you do!
Yes the Boulevard park event is a TW OA event, so if you could "feature" it that would be great- thanks!
Kate
Thanks for the recommendation on maintaining the formatting on the blog posts...unfortunately I still can't get it to work...I've saved the articles using google docs as html files and copied the html source into the blog entry - but to no avail. If any further advice or solutions come to mind I would be interested in trying them.
