Mad City Chickens Come to Surrey!
http://www.villagevancouver.ca/events/village-surrey-movie-night-2

The Village Surrey Transition Initiative presents a free public screening of “Mad City Chickens” on Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Free organic eggs will be given away while supplies last!

The screening takes place at the Surrey City Centre Library, 10350 University Drive, in the Dr. Ambedkar Room, 4th Floor. Doors open at 6:00pm, screening starts at 6:30pm. The screening will be followed by a community dialogue on backyard chickens, food security and sustainability.

Participants will also have a chance to meet members of the Surrey Backyard Chickens group and ask questions about backyard chickens in Surrey.

Mad City Chickens is a sometimes serious, sometimes whimsical look at the people who keep urban chickens in their backyards. From chicken experts and authors to a rescued landfill hen or an inexperienced family that decides to take the poultry plunge—and even a mad professor and giant hen taking to the streets—it’s a humorous and heartfelt trip through the world of backyard chickendom.

This event is organized by the Village Surrey Transition Initiative and co-sponsored by Surrey Libraries and the Surrey Urban Farmers Market. Organic eggs are provided by Surrey Backyard Chickens & True North Hatchery.

I just picked "The Transition Town Handbook." It has some great resources in it for creating engaging and welcoming groups. This is especially important for us at this early, formative stage. I'm going to spend some time with it, but would be happy to loan it out at some point in the near future. Let me know if you're interested!

We welcomed three newcomers to our meeting today. Thanks to all that attended and helped to move the village group forward. We had lively discussions about our approach and process as we got to know each other better. Our next meeting will be for next Wednesday at the same time 3-6 pm and location.
For those interested in going to "God's Little Acre" farm (Fri, Sat. Mon. or Tues.) please let me know of your preferred times by sending me a message.
