The Transition Amherst initiating group invites everyone in our community to come to

All Things Community:

Celebrating Amherst in Transition

Saturday, October 13, 2012 – 12:30-5:30
Amherst Middle School, 170 Chestnut Street, Amherst

Come and celebrate the past – the ways in which Amherst has long been resilient*! Celebrate the present – various groups are working today to make Amherst more sustainable! Imagine positive possibilities for the future, so together we can build a better and stronger community for our children and the future.

The Transition model encourages us to act on our concerns about the future by coming together.  As we face many challenges due to climate change, the end of cheap oil and economic uncertainty, let's join together as neighbors to:

• Increase production of local food and other essentials
• Decrease oil dependence
• Build the local economy
• Strengthen our community
• Expand renewable energy
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

This event is a great opportunity for citizens to meet neighbors and local resource groups, share project ideas and contribute their talents. Together we can help create collaboration for a stronger, more resilient community in the changing times ahead.

Oh, and did I mention, we'll have some fun together too!

*able to carry on through change and challenge, bounce-back-ability.
