What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...
- MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....
- Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
- Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)
- Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).
- See LATEST ACTIVITY on GTIA for results of comprehensive scans of Transition activities around the globe.
- New links to Twitter via GTIA -- Twitter via #TransitionTowns. Twitter now displayed on GTIA Latest Activity.
- Experiment by clicking on TOP NEWS vs ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO SHARE in the center column -- two types of Latest Activity.
Official Transition Town Training in Anchorage, YEAH!
Transition Anchorage is working on getting official TT training in Anchorage this Sept and is hoping to coordinate with the rest of the TT mullers in AK to join us. Tentatively schedule for mid Sept, and are hoping to hear if that date will work for everyone wanting to come; or if we change it to accomidate for more people coming, which would be the best dates.
It is a two day all day conference so needs to be done on a weekend and that is why it would be hard to do one in each city. We do not want to compete with summer activities, Bioneers in Oct, or the event Robert Shields with Vertical Gardens is trying to do this summer in Fairbanks. And that is why we picked Mid Sept. If you know of any other event around that time we need to block out time for please let me know.
We think a good estiamated rough costs we can put it on for is around $50-75 a person, depending on how much fundraising we do. The avg cost for the conference is between $4k-5k, which only includes trainers fee, trainers airfair, trainers lodge & food, costs, conference location costs. We are trying to pull this off with as much volunteer TT hours as possible to keep costs low, and would appreciate any help.
One of our main goals here is to use community building, out reach, and inclusion, and pull in groups that we haven't associated with before as well as ones we have to help bring about the needed changes in our communities using the TT model with this official training project. In Anchorage we plan one doing some TT educational training & skill building get togethers throughout the summer to do this, as well as use them as fundraising, TT educaiton, and outreach opportunities. And that this will hopeful help other communities do the same.
We are hoping on getting at lease a few people from each TT mulling city to come, learn & share, and to bring the knowledge back to their own home town to share. We will be setting up a Skype conference call-ins for once a month to coordinate the effort with all the towns and cities across AK, to support and share ideas withe each group with fundraising ideas, reduced airfair ideas, and rooms sharing ideas to help keep costs low. If you are interested please comment on this discussion, and contact me at uniquers3@gmail.com. Thanks you. Triena
