:"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain...."
Tom & Rick & all – I'll come by early to volunteer
and help with set-up/greeting or where needed,
and Don's coming to volunteer also..
Call us if you have any specific requests.
Twig members – it would be helpful to have future transition-event dates posted online somewhere, even if they are tentative..
.ie. - are there events/open space/action groups planned for other Thursdays in Oct/Nov/Dec? Let us know if you have a working pattern of Thursdays being for Transition-W featured events.
