From Oil Dependence to Local Resilience
welcome
The Belfast Area Transition Initiative began in February, 2010 with a discussion group based on the Transition Handbook, facilitated by Unity College professor Doug Fox and hosted by the Belfast Free Library, Belfast Co-op, Unitarian Universalist Church of Belfast, and the Green Store. From this group, some of us have continued to meet and explore starting a Transition Initiative (TI) in the Belfast Area.
We live in Belfast and the surrounding towns of Waldo County, Maine, and welcome other individuals and organizations who would like to contribute to the discussion and planning of our response to coming changes. Several communities in Maine are currently engaged in a similar process and each community's approach reflects their unique assets and challenges.
Transition Cafe: Every Monday at 5:00 to 6:00 at the Belfast Co-op Cafe
Looking for a casual setting to discuss these issues? Come on down to the Belfast Co-op any Monday evening at 5 pm and get to know what others are thinking and doing. For questions specifically about the Cafe, contact Marshall Rolerson at 722-3383 or Andrew Watkins at andrewwatkins.watkins (at) gmail.com.
Next General Meeting: June 14, 5:30 - 7:30 pm at City Park, Belfast.
BATI welcomes all to their quarterly general meeting, which will be held at Belfast City Park, in and around the pavilion down by the shore. Bring a picnic for your family and/or something to share with others. Over dinner, BATI members will give an update on projects and events, and welcome ideas and discussion from all. Share a game or fun activity with the group after dinner.
Huzzah! Our Constitution was adopted by unanimous consent on Jan. 14, 2012. Minutes of recent meetings.
In Transition 2.0 a new documentary film; available for rent from the Belfast Free Library
