of mine had organized it and it was a really positive experience. I always
wanted to bring it to town, but never got around to it – it’s good to see that
someone else has. I have also met Candace recently – she was the main organizer
of an urban agriculture/community garden event the beginning of May. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>I was
wondering if someone at GREN would be interested in giving a 5 minute
introduction to GREN at an environmental symposium I am helping to
organize. This is the Awakening the Dreamer Symposium and it will be
held at Unity Centre in Kitchener at the end of June (see below or attached
poster). I thought it would be a good fit since it mixes the
environmental, social, and spiritual pieces of creating positive social and
environmental change in the world. You wouldn’t necessarily have to be
there for the entire 4 hour event but could arrive around 4 or 4:30pm just to
let people know of what you are doing (you could also drop off a display
earlier if you like). Part of the point of the symposium is for people
to leave with some tools and connections to local community groups that
creating change locally. If you could let me know by next week if you
would be available and/or interested it would be greatly appreciated (also if
you have any questions). It would also be great if you could pass the
information about this along to others in your network.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
