Transition is all  about local resilience. That’s why each Transition initiative is different,  adapting to the local environment, needs, and energy level. But cross  pollination is also important. With that end in mind, more than a dozen  Transitioners from around the Bay Area and beyond gathered at Victoria  Armigo’s house in Sunnyvale on March 17 for some great food, drink, and  conversation.

Folks came from  San Francisco, Mill Valley, Albany, San Jose, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Sunnyvale,  and Sebastopol to share stories about how everyone became involved in  Transition, the accomplishments and challenges in each local area, and ideas  for the future. Carolyne Stayton from Transition US shared her ideas for  connecting people around the country and providing support for people for their own communities.

If you’re interested in getting involved in the regional Transition activities, you can  learn more about participating in the monthly Northern California regional  conference call. To get on the list for future calls, contact Scott McKeown (scott@transitionus.org)
