DESCRIPTION:Body\:
Hey\, lets throws a party! Celebrate the acceptance of the Peak Oil Taskforce's recommendations\, hang out and get to know each other better\, and start the process of figuring out what we all should work on next.
PPO is attempting to create a vision for what we will be doing to help Portland prepare for peak oil. Since our main purpose is to be a resource for our community\, we are asking the community what things would be most useful to them for us to do. We are also creating opportunities to get involved!
Remember to bring a dish and join us for a fun family evening. We encourage folks to bring their own plates/utensils as well so we can reduce the amount of paper and plastic waste.
Free and open to the public (as always!).
