CELEBRATING SIGNS OF SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable  Tompkins invites you to join us on December 14 for a holiday 
gathering and  celebration of our progress towards a more sustainable community.  
We'll  begin with a potluck dinner (bring your favorite holiday 
dish-to-pass!) and live  music courtesy of Rick Manning and friends.  Then we'll settle 
back with  dessert and watch our new slide show "Signs of Sustainability -- 2006 
Year in  Review" to celebrate the encouraging progress we are making in 
creating a  more sustainable community.  We are working to put together a 
retrospective  highlighting the top 50 events, programs, projects, and visions put forth 
by  local governments, agencies, non profits, businesses, and citizens over 
the past  year.  Come join us and take a bow for helping create a more positive 
 future for our community!  Afterwards, visit with friends, join in an  
alternative gift making activity, or be the first to try out our new "Weaving a  
Web of Sustainability" game.

All are invited to attend the celebration,  to be held 6:00 to 9:00 PM, 
Thursday, December 14 at the Annex of the Unitarian  Church, 306 N. Aurora, Ithaca. 
 The monthly Sustainable Tompkins gatherings  are a place for local citizens 
to network and learn about each other's interests  and involvements in the 
sustainable community movement. The event will begin  with a potluck dinner 
-including a scrumptious dish donated from  GreenStar's Sustainable Catering Menu 
featuring locally-grown, organic, and  fairly made goodies. Drinks and dessert 
will be provided by Sustainable  Tompkins. Please join us and bring a friend 
or two!

Sustainable Tompkins  is a coalition of citizens, community organizations, 
elected officials,  educators and professionals from diverse fields - all 
working to promote a more  just and sustainable community
