Hi Jonathan,

Welcome to the Transition Massachusetts networking and information site. Perhaps you will recall when Elizabeth and I came to your place this past April to select perennial vegetables for our permaculture demonstration plot in Newburyport. We would love to join your upcoming October workshop, but can't commit definitely now.

Although there is not yet a group page here for Holyoke (you could always establish one if that seems appropriate — ask for help if you don't see how), as a resident of the Pioneer Valley, you may want to join the Transition Pioneer Valley group on this site.

Another great benefit of membership on this statewide site is the exchange of ideas found in the Forum. As site administrator I encourage everyone to follow these discussions and to participate. To learn how to most easily follow discussions on the Forum, please read my post (in the Forum) titled "Let's Strengthen our Transition Massachusetts community." Click here to view that post directly. Implementing the simple changes described will make it easier to follow and participate in the conversations on this site.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Conrad
