Hey, Joan, thanks for the shout-out! How did you track down the article so quickly? It’s great to hear from you.

Debbie and I volunteer as organizers for the Resilience Circle National Network, which is a pilot project of the Institute for Policy Studies Program on Inequality and the Common Good (http://inequality.org). On the Commons (http://onthecommons.org) has also provided resources to develop the curriculum. You can find our national organizer, Sarah Byrnes, at sarah@localcircles.org, or in her office in Jamaica Plain, MA! You can visit the Resilience Circle website at http://localcircles.org.

Cheers,

Thomas

Great job, Thomas, as always! . Here in the greater Boston area we are constantly being told how much better off we are than “most” of the country! Yet, I know plenty of people who are either still looking for a job or. like myself, had to settle for being underemployed and receiving less compensation for the few hours I am working.! Was this support group designed by you and Debbie, or did you find the model elsewhere? At any rate, it does sound like a very valuable resource to people who are in very real pain! Keeep up the good work! Always, Joan Kilroe

We had a small but dedicated turnout at Opalz with a plethora of beautiful stuff: candle wax that will be used at Opalz, ribbon for making drawstring bags, glass hearts that will become Valentines, fabric for quilts and tables, magazines for inspiration, kids’ kits, yarn and needles, patterns, potpourri items, paint and more. It’s good to see things come out of the closet and find good homes. We were also inspired to start a Yahoo group to share supplies when there aren’t swaps or to organize field trips and other swaps.

Hello Twisted Politix,

Thanks for writing!

Lots is going on in different groups of Transition Palo Alto. So it depends on what your interest is.

You can check the TPA webpage for new events
http://transitionpaloalto.org/

We have a film series coming up later in the summer. The films are shown at WolrdCentric near JJF in College Terrace.

I personally think that a book group reading the Transition Handbook is the best way to get involved. If you’re interested, you can get on a list for the next one.

If you can tell me a bit about your background and interests, I might be able to come up with more relevant suggestions.

all best,
Bart
