We're excited to announce that our first meeting will be at the South Boston Branch Library (646 East Broadway) on Monday, August 23rd from 6:30-7:30pm.
The event is completely open to the public and all are welcome to join us in the official kick-off to this new community-based movement. After the meeting we'll be reconvening at the Blackthorn Pub to celebrate the launch of our group, get to know one another, and bask in the warmth of a proper Irish pub.
Agenda items include, but are not limited in any way, to:
- Facilitating the growth of the South Boston Farmer's Market
- Building awareness of cooling centers in the area
- Encouraging celebration of local "green thumbs" online and in public
- Planning a 350.org "10-10-10" event
- Promoting community gardens in South Boston
Please leave comments and suggestions for these and other agenda items. We really look forward to meeting all of you and sharing our ideas and insights.
