A Peoples' Chautauqua

A few of us in conjunction with the Macleay Grange Hall will be hosting an ongoing series of talks which we are calling, "The Peoples' Chautuaqua". Topics will range from a discussion of current political issues effecting us all to home and community skills/techniques aimed at enhancing the our shared sustainability. To date, the following talks (about once per month) are on the board:

Thursday April 29, 6:30pm: "How to Form a Union at Your Workplace": Presenter will be me, Chuck Wynns.

Thursday June 3, 6:30pm: "Square Foot Gardening": Presenter is Pat McCaftry who will be describing the type of gardening even the most die-hard of urbanists can practice.

Thursday July 1, 6:30pm: "Gleaning": Presenter Aaron Embree. Gleaning being the fine art of making good use of the leftovers on land and field... Leftovers which otherwise gets left as waste.

All talks will be held at the Macleay Grange Hall, located at 8312 Macleay Rd a coup;e of miles east of Cordon Rd. All talks are potluck dinners too, so please bring what you can.

Hope to see you there.
