this is marvelous! I'll be out of town on the 16th - but I'd love to be involved for the future. Idea:You' no doubt heard the Ithaca's been selected to host the October 16-18 mid-atlantic regional outreach Bioneers conference. If you're not familiar with Bioneers, it's the world's most comprehensive and long-lived (20 yrs) social justice & sustainability gathering - and the only one that has integrated the arts throughout the program from the start. <bioneers.org> They will be sending us the keynote sessions by satellite, and we get to build something indigenously appropriate around them - as the Finger Lakes Bioneers. What if we included a SWAP as part of this program? Fri and sat will be at the Ithaca College student union, Sunday downtown: how about a Swap at Center Ithaca on Sunday? GREAT sustainability demonstration of building community while having fun! What do you think? Patricia Haines 339-9472
