New website

Hey everyone!  Transition Kingston is now using it's brand new website available at transitionkingston.ca.  We will no longer be updating content on this site.  Please use the new site from now on- and notice that we have an oil and water pipeline discussion and a skills sharing event coming up very soon!

Potluck location change

Hi folks- we messed up and didn't have the space booked for our potluck on Monday so we will have it at a member's house instead.  It will still be this coming Monday (the 15th) at 6:30pm and in the downtown area.  All are welcome, but since it is someone's house, please call for directions.  Annie 548-4374.  Hope to see you there!
