Friday September 28, 2012
Start: Sep 28 2012 3:30 pm
Friday afternoons at 3:30 at Coffee Catz, an informal gathering, usually outdoors, weather permitting. There has been a different assortment of folks at each one, usually 4 to 5 of us. We encourage you to try it some week.
Where: Coffee Catz, 6761 Sebastopol Avenue, Sebastopol
Drop in—arrival and departure times are loose.
First person there asks at the counter for the “Insurgent Elders” sign to put on the chosen table area so others can find you. You might check the far back room if the weather’s cold or wet and choose some shade if it’s warm outside. It’s possible no one would show up, but it hasn’t happened yet!

Friday October 19, 2012
Start: Oct 19 2012 6:30 pm
Transition Sebastopol and the Sebastopol Grange proudly present the film Genetic Roulette.
Please join us for a potluck and a free movie Friday, October 19th at 6:30 at the Sebastopol Grange.
Following the film we will have a discussion with folks from labelgmos.org and several local food sovereignty activists. Find out what is happening to our food system, and what you can do to save it!
About the Movie:
When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.
After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.
Watch the trailer:
This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.
When:
Friday October 19th at 6:30, movie at 7:15
Where:
Sebastopol Grange
6000 Sebastopol Rd (Hwy 12)
Please come and stay for the lively and fun discussion afterward! We look forward to seeing you there!
