We need community and resilience in these turbulent times. Where do we find
the strength to face the uncertainties and difficulties? Join over 100
communities around the U.S. and Canada to address this question by
participating in this live interactive Resilient Communities
videoconference. The program will explore personal and spiritual practices
that honor work, family, community and the environment. Special guests
include Rachel Bagby, Vicki Robin and Robert Theobald, a renowned speaker
on social change for 40 years, cancer survivor, and author of "Reworking
Success."
And for those who can make tonight's event...

Open House, Y2K Centretown Preparedness Project
Come anytime between 5:30 - 7:30 pm, Tues, 25 May
*******************************************
UPDATE: 60 Minutes broadcast a credible report that Washington DC will not
be prepared and neither will many other local governments. We will bring
the video this evening.
UPDATE: We will also bring a y2k survey showing that all over North America
there has been little progress on y2k community preparedness. Authorities
persistently downplay the risks because they fear causing panic. There is
little public interest in preparing.
