These groups are found in many segments of the larger community, including the business, arts, academic, service, and faith communities. Part of the importance of Bridge-Building is that it's an essential part of the journey to . . .» The Great Unleashing, a big, very visible event (or combination of events) in which the entire Ashland community will be invited to connect with the vision, the work, and the goals of Transition Town Ashland.We really want to get the benefit of your ideas and your energy, so we will host a facilitated discussion of these issues.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Science Friday at SOUJoin us at Science Friday on January 15, for a special presentation about Transition Towns at 3 p.m. in Room 118 in the Science Building, next to SOU's Hannon Library.
