Dear all,

Today was the last day to confirm the room library booking for July 4th, but as we didn’t receive enough confirmation from VS members, we cancelled the room.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Somebody has shared that in these tough times, we may informally meet at potlucks, coffee/tea rooms, etc. to build trust and share our ideas about the transition we are living and what’s ahead.

As part of this, we will start a book-club this summer, we can meet at different libraries around Surrey, at coffee shops or people’s houses as people feel comfortable. The books we would like to share with like-minded people are (please feel free to suggest others, we just found these ones very appropriate for the moment):

“Seven Wonders” by John C. Ryan (110 pages – 1 copy available from Surrey Library): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/862749.Seven_Wonders
“People & Permaculture” by Looby MacNamara (304 pages – 5 copies available at Vancouver Public Library): http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13722671-people-and-permaculture...
“Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in without Going Crazy” by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone (288 pages – 3 copies available at Vancouver Public Library) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13235686-active-hope?ac=1

To join you need to enjoy reading and sharing with positive spirit and respectful attitude. You can use the “contact us” form to send us your request or contact Silvia, David or Henry via email or VV internal messages

The second meeting on Future of Village Surrey was posted for Thursday May 30 4-6 pm at the northeast entrance corner of Bear Creek Park (rain or shine). These meetings are intended to make Village Surrey genuinely inclusive and active in the tasks and goals of transition. Please contact me regarding any issues and problems you might have attending the meeting.

You are welcome to attend the next Village Surrey Meeting just posted (for Thurs. May 23rd) when participants can discuss the appropriateness of the role that you and "We" you mentioned have adopted with respect to Transition movement and the democratic principles of transparency and decentralization as practiced by other Transition Towns / Villages including Totnes and Vancouver. The purpose of the meeting is to constructively address these issues and help provide a structure where participants are empowered to take an active role in charting a serious collective bottom-up directly democratic sustainable Transition.

We welcomed three newcomers to our meeting today. Thanks to all that attended and helped to move the village group forward. We had lively discussions about our approach and process as we got to know each other better. Our next meeting will be for next Wednesday at the same time 3-6 pm and location.
For those interested in going to "God's Little Acre" farm (Fri, Sat. Mon. or Tues.) please let me know of your preferred times by sending me a message.
