LAKE COUNTY – Transition Lake County invites interested individuals and families to their get-acquainted barbecue and potluck at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 3.

The gathering will be held in the little park behind the Kelseyville Senior Center on Third Street, just south of Main in Kelseyville.

Bring something to barbecue or your favorite dish to share.

Cool beverages, paper plates and plastic cups also would be very useful.

Transition Lake County is a new, fast-growing group that is allied with the Transition Towns Initiative (TTI).

The TTI is a global grassroots effort whose mission is to help towns all around the world transition from oil dependence to local resilience, to respond to Peak oil and climate change.

TLC’s goal is, let’s prepare now and have fun doing it. Let’s form community. Let’s figure out what we need and how we can meet those needs locally, without depending on big corporations, government or on rapidly diminishing resources. Let’s help each other out – we all have amazing knowledge, experience and gifts to share.

A lot of local folks seem to like these goals, because a lot of people are showing up as this grassroots effort is launched.
