- There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)
- I am an adult educator with experience in literacy, ESL and workshop design and facilitation so could help out in those areas?

I've just set up a page for Sunset Village and am sending you an invite.
Cheers,
Ross
It was good to meet people. I thought it went well. My wife Laura Lee
and I got there about 12:30 (straight from Seattle!) and we participated in the last part of it and the lunch. I thought a lot of good ideas were tossed around, and I look forward to moving ahead.
I'm sending you an invite to the Learning Opportunities group. You might also want to join the Food Network.
And, if I haven't already welcomed you, welcome to Village Vancouver!
Cheers,
Ross
