Learn some peacemaking skills!

Alternatives to Violence Project is an international organization that helps folks explore peaceful means of resolving conflicts to create safer families, workplaces, and communities.

I will be one of the facilitators. Everyone welcome.

Schedule & Registration:
Friday 5:30 p.m. - 9:30 pm includes dinner
Saturday 9:00 am - 6:00 pm includes lunch & snacks

$30 suggested donation, scholarships available.

A review from the last workshop:

Such a wonderful, rich experience. If you had told me that such a diverse bunch of people could have bonded like we did, I would have laughed in your face. The learning was deep AND broad. Plus, the emotional connections were amazing! Yet it was fun too! L & L will always bring a smile to my face. ( To know what L & L is you have to come to a workshop ;-) )

Fall Festival


By far my favorite shot of the day - Myra Kreger is the chief of the (all volunteer) ambulance company and she was tickled to show off the new ambulance they just bought. Her mom taught me to sew as a kid - I have very special memories of Peg's house.

I took this shot at 8:16am and am posting it just as proof of awakeness. I am rarely awake at that uncivilized time of day and I had forgotten how beautiful the light can be as it's peeking over the mountain.

The mayor has a new little scooter thingy that I got to ride around the parking lot for a minute.

My brother also took it for a spin.

The fire & ambulance department just bought a new "Jaws of Life" set. They cost $40,000. The department donated their old set to an even smaller fire department in the west side of the county.
image

The department gave a demonstration and demolished this car in under 30 minutes.
image

image

The Masonic lodge gave the department a check for $1,500 and had an open house in their secret space above the auto parts store. It's the first time I've been in there since I was a very young child. My grandmother and uncle lived across the hall from the lodge room (the baby is my uncle's grandchild). I really liked the lighting and casual pile of top hats.

Sue participated in the hot dog eating contest with one of her sons, sold out of all the yummy egg rolls, noodles and fried rice that she made, and then won the pie-baking contest!

Patrick (one of the folks who lost his house in the fire I wrote about in June) ate 15 hot dogs to be the new champion.
