Take everything that fast food is famous for, and flip it the other way, and that's slow food. Our new Resilience Partners Slow Food Santa Cruz will be in the house for this one.

Bring something you grew up eating (a family recipe or a traditional food from your heritage). If you can, use local, seasonal, and organic ingredients where possible. Write on a little index card what the meal is and any details to share including ingredients, story or recipe (we'll have some blank cards).

Keep it local logoAre you the proprietor of a local small or large business*? Perhaps you'd like to support Transition SC by offering discounts to our members. It's good for business too, as our growing group of members will patronize your business.

If you don't have a business, perhaps you'd like to recommend to a favorite business that they contact us about this.

Contact Ken Foster for more information:  ken@terranovalandscaping.com  or call 359-5717.

RSVP for location

StrawberryThis coming Thursday at 6 pm, members of Transition Santa Cruz will gather for great food and a "World Cafe"-style evening of delightful conversation.

Catered by local food artist Tod Nysether of Simple Pleasures Catering, the food alone will be more than worth the price of admission ($10 for members)...but our hearts and minds will be well fed too.

RSVP, preferably by Monday May 7, here at this Evite link so we know to make dinner for you.

Not a member yet? No problem. RSVP "Yes," then join on our website or at the door. Memberships start at $25 or by arrangement as volunteer hours.

♦ What would the world be like if we invested 50% of our assets within 50 miles of where we live?
♦ What if there were a new generation of companies that gave away 50% of their profits?
♦ What if there were 50% more organic matter in our soil 50 years from now?

Our guest for the evening, Marco Vangelisti, worked for 20 years in the finance and investment management industry. Now he is working full time for the Great Turning, focusing on "Slow Money" and how we can invest locally instead of in distant, large corporations.

The Spring equinox is coming, and the time has come again to share on a deeper level with each other. Here's a chance to let our hearts spring open with stories, poetry, rap, song, theatre, whatever is inside waiting to burst out that may give us heart in these turbulent times.
