"Are you going to be able to attend the sustainability conference at the end of the month?"

"Hi Tobi, How have you been? Will you be able to come to our next meeting at Monica's House? We were wondering if you might be interested in doing a bit of marketing for our group. Hope to see you soon. Steve"

"Hi Pravin -- Aw! Sorry -- should that happen again - go ahead and come! -- just send me a note. I just didn't want 3 new extras showing up as there was food and seating limitations-- but we can always squeeze you in! Monica"

"Hi Monica! Thanks for the shout!! Hope to see you soon!"

"Actually I wanted to attend the meeting but all the 20 members were already filled up.I was not able to RSVP. Anyways I would be attending a workshop on Photovoltaic system from 12 to 18 May in east charleston Vermont."

"Pravin, we missed you tonite. and you missed some good food! How are you? Hope alls going well! Send us at least a news report now and then okay? Monica"

"Hello! I live in Ann Arbor, teach special ed in Detroit and I am very interested in making my home (and classroom) more sustainable. I am interested in how to make our community more self-reliant."

"Say Barbara, about that "kook" thing -- I understand completely. The Wall Street Journal did a video piece on suburban gardens and it is on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJbqOq... - and... geez, what was it? the Nation did a piece on "no longer a kook/peak oil" you might want to take a look and send it to anyone who gives you the kook look! ; ) Monica"

"Hi Jen, Welcome to our Sustainable Michigan group! Would love to have you join us at one of our meetups. The next one is Monday at my home. Great movie. Look forward to meeting you when you can come... love Adrian. Monica"

"Hello. I was excited to find this group, though I wish there were one in Adrian (might have to start one). I have been working on making my food supply more sustainable and am interested in learning more about sustainability in other areas too."

"Say Bruce, thanks for the offer! I'd say - bring whatever would be fun for you. Some locally produced tea (iced tea?) -- you'd need to also pick up a 1$ bag of ice at the local gas station or something like that... or, a local wine you like? (what would be a local refreshment?) Thought I'd have a nice salad as local as I can get, some local bread (Depot Town Bakery) and... haven't gotten beyond that - so I'm glad you reminded me! Will have to get on it! Glad you're coming! "

"Hi I am just becoming aware of our diminishing resources and am looking to get active in sustainability projects."

"Hi! "

"Help, my neighbors think I'm the peak oil nut. I need like minded kooks who are taking this seriously! (just kidding) I'm interested in sharing plans for simple, sustainable living suitable for family life. "

"I am very excited to find this group. I am interested in, and working toward living a symbiotic lifestyle. I wish to be involved in improving the local food supply chain. Eventually, I hope to be part of a self sustaining community."

"I've updated this meeting. For more details, see the full listing: http://oilawarene... When: Monday, May 5, 2008 at 7:00 PM Where: Monica's 301 S. Washington..."

"hello"

"I have registered for the sustainability conference in Grand Rapids on May 31st and June 1st. I plan on attending both days. Would anyone be interested in carpooling? Has anyone else registered for the..."

"I've been waffling but reading The Transition Handbook by Rob Hopkins has made me realize I'd like to get serious about some kind of Transition Initiative. Or maybe, long-term, form some kind of co-operative, co-housing, off-the-grid thingie."

"Hi, the concept of living sustainably isn't new to me, but the awareness of how urgently we need to transition to sustainability is. I am referring to Peak Oil as the big problem that makes all other big problems look small."
