[Sdpg] SD events with a Permaculture twist

[SDECC & Permaculture Center]

Dear Friends of SDECC & the SD Permaculture Center,

Just wanted to let you know about some October events in San Diego where
you'll find people who know what "Permaculture" is!  While we're not
organizing these events, we are supporting them and hope you will, too.
See the calendar below for more information.
