All,

I’m pleased to say that we’ll be hosting a dinner and discussion with Ran Prieur this Saturday evening at our house in the Mt. Baker neighborhood.  If you’re not familiar with Ran’s work, check out his website at http://www.ranprieur.com

Food is provided, so just bring an appetite. 6:00 p.m. start. I’m keeping things open for now, but am requiring RSVP so that I can keep track of how many people are coming, and will cut it off if I get more interest than we can accomodate.  RSVP via email to “toddsahl (at) yahoo (dot) com”, and I’ll send you the address.

Also, don’t fret if you can’t make Saturday – if Ran is still in town he will also attend the December SPOA meeting on the 4th.

-Todd

We’ll have our regular monthly meeting December 4th. We’ll review progress since last month and have some other activities not yet determined.

Amy and I will host the first Seattle Peak Oil Soup Night.

Using local vegetables delivered by sail, we’ll make up a big batch of soup and enjoy a harvest meal and good company together.

In general, Bring an appetite only.
Handmade local foods welcome, but don’t go buy a bunch of stuff to contribute — Your contribution will come on your turn to host.
Kids welcome.

RSVP appreciated but not required.

Using Frank’s successful dialogue meetup format, I would like to set up another Elliot Bay Cafe community dialogue meeting for November 16th to introduce the book projects I am working on.

Whisper will be sailing on a third trip to deliver Carbon free organic produce direct from the farm to group members in Seattle. Anyone who wants to help out by buying a Tote of organic produce is very welcome. The farmers are very excited about working with us and are pleased that we are coming back after the first two trials were successful.

Produce for this trip can be picked up Sunday, November 9th at Shilshole Marina in Ballard. Whisper’s slip is in “U dock”, near the north end of the Marina. Arrival time is expected around 5pm.

Honey, Squash, green peppers, cabbage, baby carrots, tomatoes, beets, cucumbers, apples and pears. (There might be some apple cider)

Bags will generally be $40 for 20 lbs.
3 lb. honey jars are available for $15.
Other items may be available.

On Novermber 6th, our meeting will focus on practical responses to the growing crisis and he direction of this group and our organized activites. We will review our Small Town in the City concept and try to figure out how to push that model forward, or, if it is not realistic, why not and what would be more realistic.
