Local Resilience: A Transition Town Weekend

 ,   Add to calendar
 343 Broadway Dobbs Ferry NY 10522  See map

For those that see today’s diminishing oil supplies, economic disparities, and climate change as just the tip of the iceberg, change is necessary and that’s where the Transition Network comes in.  Transition is a community-organizing plan that responds to the realities of climate change and the shrinking supplies of cheap energy. 
Join us at South Church, 343 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY with trainers Tina Clarke and Pamela Boyce Simms and learn how to build strong and resilient communities that can weather all kinds of storms.  According to John Bell, founder of Transition Westchester, “We’ve just been through Hurricane Sandy. We’ve seen the first gas lines since the 70s. Something is changing. Transition Training will help you understand what is changing and will give you tools to deal with these changes.”


Friday, February 1, 6:00-9:00PM, dinner included; Saturday, February 2, 8:30AM-5:00PM, lunch included; Sunday, February 3, 1:00-6:00PM, dinner included.   Registration and details at http://rootsandwingswestchester.blogspot.com.

This is a terrific addition to town! I know I struggle with mounting piles of things to donate andRead More finding places to give to. With the Community Center and now Goodwill, great to find a second home for goods.

Okay but let's focus on the charter of the BOE. The Board of Education believes its primaryRead More responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens. We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals. It says nothing about protecting the investments of taxpayers by voting "no" on every expenditure. We need forward thinking, broad minded individuals to help guide educational direction of our schools. Keeping expenses reasonable and and in check should be a consideration by the educational focus should be primary. Although novices, Trustees Tobin and Schiff have helped true the course of the board back to the direction of education. Mr Stone who himself admitted he had never even been to a BOE meeting before deciding to run offers no sense of motivation other than Dr Treyz and his friends think he'll help shift the direction back toward finance. Mr Holbrook is no different a candidate than Mr Lipton himself was 6 years ago.
