Invisible Children at The Green House this Tuesday!!

This Tuesday Invisible Children, an incredible organization based out of San Diego, California, will be at the Green House Collective. Named after the organization's 2003 film with the same title, IC's goal is to end a 20 year war that has been raging in Northern Uganda. This war has forced families into displacement camps where many children are kidnapped and taken as child soldiers by the LRA(Lord's Resistance Army). The LRA is led by Joseph Kony and their main goal is to overthrow the government.

In light of the current situation and a nearing peace, Invisible Children is addressing the need for access to education and economic development through three innovative programs on the ground.

The Creators of Invisible Children: Rough Cut have now put together "The RESCUE", Invisible Children's newest Spring 2009 Film.

The new film is dedicated to the rescue of the child soldiers and to saving Northern Uganda from Joseph Kony and the L.R.A. (Lords Resistance Army)


Come watch a premeir of Invisible Children's most recent film, The Rescue this Tuesday at the Green House Collective. There will be a vegan potluck to start off the evening and discussion to follow. Invisible Children will be present and available for a Q&A.

We look forward to seeing you!

Thurs. March 5th DIY Notebook-making Workshop!!!

Hello wonderful people!

Do It Yourself Workshop on how to make your own Journal!!! We decided that we
wanted to start this month off with a little hands-on project that will have
everyone leave with a skill that one can carry with them always. We will walk
everybody step by step through the process of journal/notebook making, and by
the end everyone will have at least one new journal in hand!

Our goal here is to have some fun learning a new and valuable skill ~ teach
just one more simple way to avoid consumerism ~ all in the beauty of building
community

By now you all know out style, and of coarse we have this project coupled with
another. At the end of the night we will ask those who are willing to donate
their new journals, so that we can offer them to an organization that hands
out materials to the houseless folk - who doesn't need a new journal???

This will NOT COST A THING!!!! However you can help us out by bringing
neccesary Materials:

1.) old six-pack bottled beer containers
2.) Scissors
3.) A Glue stick
4.) Dental Floss
5.) a Sewing Needle!!! (this one a must)

We will provide all that we can (including paper) in case you can only bring a
few things or nothing at all
