[Lapg] Transition Towns founder Rob Hopkins in LA

[Bruce Woodside]

If you've been curious about the Transition Towns movement, here's your one (and possibly only) chance to hear about it from the man who thought it up, permaculture instructor Rob Hopkins.  There are two public events, one in Westchester (West LA near LAX) on Sunday, October 13th, and the other in Pasadena on Monday, October 14th.  Details below.

Advance tickets are available online (we'd like to get some idea of how many people we can expect), but they'll also be available at the door on the days of the events.  Hope to see you there.
