I met with the park supervisor, Barbara Dever, on January 26 in order to look at possible sites again. We also talked about water sources, what type of garden to create and connections to cultivate in the neighborhood. See my comments in the event l…

Just wanted to add that on the 26th of January, Megan and I will be pulling together and presenting the history of RP from its early settlement by native peoples (Woodland, Illinois, Mississippi and more recent Ojibwa, Iroquois and Potawatomi) to th…
I love the idea of having representatives of the Potawatomi tribe participate, especially in planting foods that are traditional to their tribe.

Transition Rogers Park is a grassroots, from the ground up, community organization. No one is going to tell you what to do and how to do it.
If you have a thought or idea that could move the community forward toward resiliency and self-reliance, put it out there....and then begin it!
