Gift Circles Ripple Out!

Transition Pittsburgh wants all gift givers and gift receivers to create a Gift Circle ripple effect in our neighborhoods as Phase Two.  (Phase One was successfully establishing Gift Circles in Peaceburgh, thanks largely to the loving enthusiasm and follow-through of Kevin May.)  You all are needed as ripplers.  We had many faithful scribes, and we will contact all those who have attended Gift Circles to invite them to join this on-line group. Please spread the word and share your ideas and comments. Thanks.  Rosemary

Hi everyone, I love the idea of a gift circle(I have never been a part of one though).  I am an organizer for GreenPittsburgh, a Meet Up group which is really a social place for like minded people to…Continue

Hey guys, wouldn't have been able to make it yesterday anyway. But the Transition Tuesday meetings are still going on, and I'll be helping to facilitate there.

Thanks for the nice wishes Susan.

Yes! I am excited indeed.  I will be heading East, and would like to carpool as well.  I was planning to drive, but if I could hop in with someone who will be going early it would be wonderful.  412 606 3927! Thanks

Will not be able to make it tonight, but I wish you great success!

Wonderful. If Jeff wants to collect food waste, he is welcome to it! Otherwise it will go into my compost pile...Glad you see the success even before the event Rosemary. We have done each of our pot lucks at Sustainable Monroeville as zero waste events. But don't be shocked if some bring plastic non-reusable plates. We all have learning curves we are in the middle of....

To introduce seven people to zero waste is in itself a goal accomplished. And to bring gifting to Monroeville so soon after starting this Transition Group is also a big success for me.  Looking forward to joining you all tonight.  Jeff offered to drive.  I don't know if he is looking at his email lately.  Justin and Susan, if you can join and need a ride, contact me. Obviously Chad will also be heading east today.

I meant zero waste, not zero wasted! See y'all tonight. Proofreading is a good idea!
Comment by Elisa Beck on September 12, 2011 at 8:30am

I've had about 7 RSVP's that folks are coming tonight without even asking for RSVP's! Hope to see y'all tonight. Bring along a friend or two in your carpool to the 'burbs. You'll love seeing the permaculture inspired garden right outside the Monroeville Public Library downstairs program room where we meet! Looking forward to meeting you Chad and thanks for agreeing to facilitate. Six PM pot luck, bring a place setting for this zero wasted event..7 PM gift circle... Elisa

Right, I had to figure that out too!

 

Go to www.sustainablemonroeville.com and the Sustainable Monroeville facebook page to see the announcement for Sept. 12. Also check out the Transition Pittsburgh facebook page. You are all invited of course and I hope you can make it! Please refer folks to the Sustainable Monroeville web site and encourage participation. Thanks so much! Elisa

 

Susan, I did not use your suggestion to change any words from what Chad wrote as I did not hear back from him before doing the posting. Have a great weekend everyone!
