This week at the GHC

Hi lovelys,

Thanks to all who made it out last week for the film screening and discussion on the documentary "A Force More Powerful." If you were unable to make it out and still would like to see the film, we have it and many others available for check out through our film library; we have books available too!!!

This week at the GHC is going to be a busy one. This Thursday Oct. 30th begins the first week of Open Mic Nights at the GHC on the last Thursday of each month. All are welcome to play, speak, listen. . . Potluck begins at 5:30 and the Mic turns on at 7.

Then on Saturday Nov. 1st we are having an all day event. Beginning at Noon (12-3) we're having a breakfast gathering; so if you partied a little too much on Halloween or are just hungry, and you need some good healthy food to get motivated for day come on by with a vege dish or just your empty stomachs. After breakfast there is a chance the Beehive Collective may be here to do a presentation (still workin of this one so nothing set in stone yet). Then at 3-6pm we have a couple different organizations coming to dissect all the Oregon ballot measures. If you have yet to send in your ballots we encourage holding off til then so you'll have a better understanding of what these measures are actually proposing. From 6-7pm is the vegan potluck. Then at 7pm we have the political satire theatrical group Dr. Atomics Medicine Show (www.myspace.com/doctoratomics) with some awesome entertainment regarding this years elections. After they are done we'll have some jam time ahead of us, so please feel free to bring some instruments. It's going to be an action packed day of fun, so come to one of them, come to all of them, either way we would love to see all your beautiful faces.

On Sunday Nov. 2nd @10am we wrap up the week and the harvest season with a garden workparty. Our dear friend and community member Matt B from Tryon Farm will be here to help and assist in the redesign overhaul of our garden out back. We are going for a permaculture design to increase productivity and a more sustainable future. So if your interested in learning some basics of permaculture, want to play in some dirt, maybe roll around in some leaves, come to the GHC this Sunday at 10am (if you can't make it out that early, no worries come whenever, we'll be at it all day). Also, if you have gardening tools please feel free to bring what you can as we have a limited supply.

Certainly a busy week at the GHC but there are also many other beautiful things happening outside of our house; for more information check out the community events calendar on our blog at www.thegreenhousecollective.blogspot.com

In peace and solidarity,

The Green House Collective
