Hi-
I thought this email was worth passing on.
Are other permaculture guilds doing something for October 10th?

*********************************************

Announcing a new event for Portland Maine Permaculture!

*What*: 10/10/10 Global Work Party: First Portland Maine Permablitz! 
<http://www.meetup.com/portlandpermaculture/calendar/14251993/>

*When*: Sunday, October 10, 2010 8:30 AM

*Where*: Portland location to be chosen....

Save the date! /More details will be coming soon/ but we will be taking 
this day to completely transform a residential property in Portland into 
a resilient, low-carbon example of sustainable living using the 
*Permablitz* model pioneered in Australia and now found all over the 
world. This will be an incredible learning opportunity as well as a very 
hands-in-the-dirt, get-it-done Work Party.

This event is being coordinated as one of the thousands of 350.org 
Global Work Parties happening around the planet on 10/10/10. It will be 
followed by a Global Work Party *PARTY* in Portland for all the groups 
organizing activities on this day. /Contact LisaF 
<mailbox:///Users/HomeBase/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/2i3mn1ae.default/Mail/pop.gmail-17.com/Inbox?number=261453206> 
if your group has an activity planned!/
