With sewing machines, colored paper, yarn, embroidery, and more in tow, Transitioners gathered for the second Transition Palo Alto Craft night – a delightful evening of visiting, repairing, and creating. Thanks to Trina Lynn and Emily Rosen for organizing the event and to Trina Lynn and Roy Kornbluh for being such wonderful hosts!

Here are some photos. Check your email for future craft nights – all are welcome!

On Saturday July 19, William Mutch, Victoria Armigo, and Barbara Weinstein joined Transitioners from all around Northern California to share successes, challenges, and ideas for the future. Here’s a link to some photos from the get-together, which was held at the Permaculture Learning Center in Sebastopol (definitely worth a visit!).
