I think discussing the structure of TTPGH requires some knowledge about what's been going on recently. Here's my updates, a non-condensed version of what I put in a recent email: 

• Larimer—Transition Larimer appears to be happening, folded into a much larger & complex non-Transition effort (that still is very Transition-y) and so I'm trying to bring people to volunteering opportunities and internships there (and that is my current focus). Larimer—it's kickin'. Green Team, Steering Group, Awareness-raising group, oh my goodness. They got structure very similar to Transition, they got local government, business, and nonprofits involved. What they're starting on now: asking the Larimer community to form working groups (housing, jobs, etc) to help them plan the plan, essentially an EDAP that focuses more on goals like housing and economics, green + sustainable + resilient being (unfortunately) a bit of an afterthought. Transition Larimer (which appears to be inching closer to reality) could pull the community members towards that goal.
• Pittsburgh Garden Experiment seems to be kicking, too. I say it's worth going to those events, pitching the Transition idea, seeing if people want to get on board, seeing if the boatload of skills there can be shifted to places like Larimer and other places we do T4Ts. 

• Potlucks--Not doing the potlucks anymore, especially when there's such more interesting stuff to bring people to going on elsewhere, and when there isn't the energy behind it. Thinking about maybe reinvigorating Transition evening hour gatherings, however, over at the Red Oak Cafe or some such. Can't possibly do Starbucks.

• Structure—do not have other steering-group roles filled; I honestly do need help and there is much stuff to do. I've been unable to effectively organize TTPGH in that sense. and there are duties falling through the cracks everywhere. We could use people. Would like others to come to Alex's discussion group on transitionpgh.org and give their thoughts.

• Telling people about TTPGH--How honest should we be with interested patrons of Transition about how little structure there is yet? How open should we be about plans to reinvigorate it? Could either of those options be helpful? I wonder how hurtful to our cause it would be to be open about that. At this point, I wonder if people might offer help if we're open about it. I wonder if people would take us more seriously if they knew we're reviewing ourselves and our own progress and saying we need more.

• Movies—want to do more, think I can by myself but would like help. Had one screening in March, of “The Pipe,” in association with the Marcellus Protest folks. Have not, unfortunately, had the energy/manpower to do more screenings. “Power of Community” won last poll—will try to get a screening of that or Transition2.0 going soon, hopefully this month. Trying to do partnerships with other organizations to do that, more often.

• AUUC T4T – Allegheny Unitarian Universalist Church on the North Side appears to be open to a Training For Transition in the Summer—I'm looking to see if that's doable in June. Still need to contact Tina about all that.

• AUUC Eco-summer Camp – The AUUC is also having an Eco-Summer Camp for kids 3-11, in late June or early July (every morning/early afternoon for a week) and they need a “head consultant/head teacher,” paid maybe $1000 or multiple $1000s, for their leadership and curriculum, and I told them I'd look for one amongst Transition's supporters, provided they were willing to work in a community-oriented aspect to their program.
