Friday, April 17th from 6:30 to 9pm the Cyan is the location for the Bright Neighbor Community Revolution Tour Launch!
www.brightneighbor.com:
Bright Neighbor is embarking on a tour through all 95 Portland Neighborhoods to train our community in creative ways to use technology and real-world community cooperation to help deal with our economic, ecological, and energy challenges. Each stop will be a chance for Bright Neighbor members to meet with one another to solidify local relationships that matter more and more as we all strive to live as local as possible.
The official Bright Neighbor kickoff is a community matching / networking event with music, food, and fun! You can meet others either offering up projects that need volunteers, as well as discover new opportunities and groups (others with similar interests as yourself). Guest speakers include:
Linda K. Johnson – Guerilla-gardening cross-disciplinary artist and educator
Bo Rinaldi – Gourmet “Prosperity Diet” expert and “Vegan Fusion Cuisine” author
Randy White – Portland technology/life systems analyst and founder of Bright Neighbor
Come to network with other Portlanders making social change happen, bring extra garden seeds for swapping, and partake in door prizes – including a treasure chest full of beautiful red-wiggler worms in microbe rich soil to help your garden grow!
We will have a variety of guest speakers on hand from art, biking, gardening, business, alternative economy and other communities to celebrate the many ways we are all moving the community revolution forward.
