The Power of Community: what can we learn from

Cuba’s peak oil experience?



Tuesday, March 9, 2010

5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.


Michigan Land Trustees (MLT) Community Potluck and Speakers Series will present: Are there lessons we can learn from one country’s experience of a severely diminished oil supply? This is the second program geared toward raising awareness and building resilient communities in SW Michigan. After the potluck, we will view the DVD “Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil.” Dr. Ken Dahlberg (MLT), and Dr. Tom Kostrzewa (from WMU) will provide insights from their travel experiences, and observations of local actions here and in Cuba. The potluck will start at 5:30 p.m., followed by the program, and a Question & Answer period ending at 9:30 p.m. It will be held at The Van Buren Conference Center, 490 S. Paw Paw St., Lawrence, Michigan. Please bring a dish to pass, your own plates and silverware, and a willingness to network with your neighbors. Drinks will be provided. Hope to see you there!


Directions:  take I-94 to the Lawrence exit (No. 52), go north into town.  Just past the Van Buren Intermediate School District offices, the Van Buren Conference Center is located on the left-side (westside) of the road.  From the north, take Red Arrow Highway to Lawrence, turn south at the main intersection (Paw Paw St.), cross the railroad tracks, pass the post office and you will see the Van Buren Conference Center on the right.
