Dear Transition community,

As we review our past year we can be excited about the year to come. Our restructuring has produced a Working Group Council, made up of representatives from each of our working groups, a Constitution, and a Charter. These elements will serve as a foundation for the growth we expect to see this coming year.

We have already had many new people relocate to Sebastopol specifically to be involved in Transition Sebastopol. All of us in Transition welcome you. With the completion of our restructuring we will re-continue our community potlucks and mixers each month, which will give all of us more opportunities to connect.

We are also preparing to launch several additional working groups. A sample of just a few are: an education group, a water group, a group that helps people form communities and establish place, and a community support group.

We are looking forward to all the different events we will be sponsoring this year, including the Reskilling events, Heart and Soul, the Seed Exchange, Ready for Anything, Energy, Transportation, the Elder Salon, and the Transition to Sustainable Living Course.

Thank you for all your support. Happy Holidays, and we look forward to your participation in this great experiment of community transition in the New Year.
