Coast Transition Towns (MCTT) is part of a worldwide movement,
a living and evolving network of human beings sharing in the
co-creation of a healthier, happier, more resilient, more
local, and more sustainable community. We are collectively
transforming our reality together and transitioning our local
scene.<BR><BR>In "Transition Towns," local people are working
together to build durable communities capable of responding to
the challenges of financial crisis, ecological destruction,
climate change, peak oil, resource depletion, and the many
other current challenges we face.<BR><BR>One important task
for those engaged with the Transition Towns process is mapping
out our community's needs and resources. The resulting clarity
allows us to move forward with our work, to see what has to be
done, and to initiate adjustments as necessary. Such a
networking process allows us also to be more accessible to
those around us, so that we can better work together to meet
our community's needs.<BR><BR>In the process of community
resource mapping, we will be assessing food, water, energy,
land, waste, transportation, housing, industry, natural
resources, environment, and similar resources. The categories
are defined by the group. We ask: What do we have? What do we
need? And how better can we work together to get our needs
met?<BR><BR>So community mapping is both the recovery and the
discovery of connections and shared ground that we all have in
a community. The resulting maps bring into perspective a new
worldview, and new useful knowledge that can open up new
conversations for possibility. <BR><BR>We are all mapmakers,
and every community has maps. Together we release the genius
that can only show up through our collaboration. With
different mental maps about our community, we are empowered to
do new, different, and more effective things to make our
community more resilient, more local, and more sustainable.
Come join us for this process.<BR><BR>[Special thanks go out
to Lake County Transition Towns and Peggy Rose in Anderson
Springs for providing the background material on which this
summary of community mapping was based.]<BR>-

available locally, and how you can more directly support local
businesses and organizations. Come join your neighbors for a
free and fun afternoon of community mapping to help organize a
more resilient Mendocino Coast. Together we'll identify: Who
is doing what? What do we have? What do we need? What can we
do individually and together? Topic areas will cover local
food, water, energy, housing, health, arts & culture, zero
waste, kids, seniors, businesses, goods and services, etc.

this information, we can (1) make better decisions, and more
deliberately support local businesses, (2) identify new
opportunities for collaboration, and (3) better focus our
efforts on making our community more sustainable, resilient,
and local. Come put your ideas on the map and help us connect
the dots. </SPAN><BR><BR>Leading the mapping discussion will
be Kelley Rajala, Founder of the Share Exchange, in Santa
Rosa. The Share Exchange is a cowork space, small business
incubator and a retail store, the Made Local Marketplace that
sells only goods made in Sonoma County. Kelley has worked with
Transition Sebastopol, mapping local resources and is on the
initiating committee for Transition Santa Rosa. She is working
on creating a North Bay Regional Economic Development Cluster
that includes Mendocino County. Kelley has established a
variety of small businesses herself, and in 2010 she was the
winner of the Sustainability Trailblazer Award, conferred by
the Leadership Institute for Ecology and
Economy.</SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN
