The Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute will host a roundtable 
discussion in conjunction with the Ithaca Freeskool twice each month for 
anyone interested in reading and discussing  Introduction to 
Permaculture by Bill Mollison. Chapters will be read by participants 
between classes and we'll meet to clarify and discuss the themes, 
concepts, and applications of this system which seeks to design human 
habitats that are ecologically sound and economically viable. 
Facilitators will rotate and include FLPCI teachers, apprentices, local 
activists, and anyone who wants to lead discussion.

If you need a book, we have 8 copies available at $35 a copy which are 
going at a first come, first serve basis. Checks can be made out to 
Cayuga Nature Center. Since you'll need a copy BEFORE our first meeting 
on 2/14, you'll have to get in touch to arrange pick up.....here are 
some options:

- Greenstar Member drop off box (email steve at fingerlakespermaculture.org)
- Pick up at Cayuga Nature Center Friday 10 - 3pm and Sunday 10 - 2pm 
(email steve at fingerlakespermaculture.org or call 607-273-6260 and ask 
for Steve)
