[SEMCO] Connecting for Change

[Desa Van Laarhoven (on behalf of Desa, from Brooke)]

Hello!

I hope you are well!  I just wanted to make sure that you know that they can
attend the 7th Annual Connecting for Change conference for *free*. This is
the largest environmental conference in the SouthCoast and we want as many
movers and shakers at this conference as possible and I really think
you need to be at Connecting for Change!  If you want to come, we want you
there!  Economic barriers should not get in the way of learning, teaching,
and working cooperatively on such key issues!

The details for the 7th Annual Connecting for Change: A Bioneers by the Bay
Conference, October 21-23, in downtown New Bedford, MA can be found at
www.connectingforchange.org.  The conference is a three-day, solutions based
gathering that brings together a diverse audience to create deep and
positive change in our communities.
There will be over a dozen keynote speakers including Satish Kumar, teacher
and lecturer on reverential ecology, holistic education and voluntary
simplicity; Laurie David, the Producer of *An Inconvenient Truth* and author
of *The Family Dinner: Great Ways to Connect with Your Kids*, *One Meal at a
Time*; and of course Dr. Mark Hyman, Sobonfu Some, Amy Goodman and so many
more.  In addition to the keynote speakers, there will be over fifty
workshops as well as, films, tours, art, music, a youth initiative,
and local and organic food, throughout the 3-day conference.

Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege. --John D. Rockefeller Jr.

The Marion Institute provides support and insight to emerging initiatives
that make a profound difference in the world. Their work does not show up at
the head of the parade, but is often the reason there is a parade at all.
The Institute shows up early and presciently to bring forth the most
innovative people and projects in the world. -- Paul Hawken
