A year ago the Permaculture Guild of Santa Barbara and the Green Living Co-op co-sponsored a Local Cooperatives Forum that brought many of us together in sharing our community building projects and inviting each other to participate in ideas and ventures that bring meaning to our lives.  After the event, we received an overwhelming response from those who attended and were asked to do it again, as soon as possible.

This year we are taking things a step further!

On Thursday, March 14, at 6:30pm, at the Faulkner Gallery in the downtown Santa Barbara public library, we will hold the 2nd Annual Local Cooperative Forum.   Save the date! It promises to be an evening you will cherish and long remember!

 Interplay, a newly forming local group that is focused on cultivating collaborative community, and many of the cooperatives that made up last year's panel have joined forces to make this year's event even bigger, better, and more meaningful.  Stay tuned for more information as the date draws near!
