Welcome, Hume!

I'm hoping that you'll be able to join us on Thursday, November 5th to see what we're about. I'm thrilled to see that you are interested in promoting economic justice. For me, that is a key component of Transition Towns and Transition Rogers Park.

Looking forward to conversation - and, I hope, working together!

Best,


Pam
