Thanks for posting these events. I'd love to go - especially to the July 15th gathering at the Field Museum but have prior commitments. I'm hoping that others not only might attend one or both . . . . but perhaps even do a brief "report back"? These are important issues . . . . .

- Hi Leah!
It was good to meet you at yesterday's workshop! Would you have time to meet with Cynthia and me during the next few weeks so that we can get to know you better and to learn more about your concept for a residential public school? What little you've shared to date seems to capture much of what we are talking about.
AND your idea for a community dinner is amazing. Let's talk more about how we might make this a reality!
Let's be in touch soon.

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!
