Important Notes:

1. The lunch will be a potluck, please bring food to feed 15 to 20 people... if you can make something that is "regionally grown" from your area, that would be awesome!
2. Bring your calendars, so we can set a time in September.
3. I've attached a note about the Harmony Festival. They are looking for people to "person" the table and get the info out about Peak Oil and Relocalizing... see attached.
4. There will be a data projector available, with medium sized screen.
5. The cost of the room will equal about $10 per person... please bring this in cash to pay back Richard Katz.
