[Sdpg] Sdpg Digest, Vol 45, Issue 10

[Mike]

Hello everyone,

My name is Mike, I'm new to this list, and wanted to say hi.  I've been
talking with Colin about having a permaculture/bioregional event here ni San
Diego.  I just wanted to throw out there that I'd realy like to make this
kind of gathering happen here.  Has there been any permaculture meet-ups in
the past in SD?  Any regular meetings?  Hope to here from some people.
Thanks,

Mike
