March 10, Mon, Potluck Dinner with Common Vision Tree Planters 6:00pm 
Orella Ranch ,
West of Goleta

An evening celebration to welcome Common Vision once again to our community

Celebrating the Transformation of Concrete Jungles into Urban
Fruit Tree Forests by Tree Planting at Schools in California

The evening will include a potluck dinner (please bring food to 
share, utensils and cups) , drumming & storytelling,  with all 
donations going to the group to help raise funds for the trees and 
the 2008 Fruit Tree Tour.

It is the Fifth  Annual California Common Vision FRUIT TREE TOUR, 
taking place from February 20-April 25 2007, celebrating the 
transformation of concrete jungles into urban orchards ( 
www.commonvision.org). Thirty volunteer earth educators from northern 
California, travel to schools from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 
the largest known vegetable oil-powered caravan: six vehicles, 
including three busses. The all volunteer crew travels as a nomadic 
community visiting schools to plant 1000 fruit trees with urban 
youth. The three month tour is divided into day-long programs at each 
school featuring cultural story-telling, West African agricultural 
drumming, earth-conscious hip-hop, and hands-on involvement in the 
stewardship of the students school yard.

Common Vision infuses public schools and spaces with inspiration, 
infrastructure, and experience to support solution-focused 
environmental education for urban youth. Common Vision facilitates 
hands-on projects with students and community leaders that serve to 
retrofit public schools and spaces into models of sustainability.
