>Given the increasing social and environmental challenges we're already

>If you'll join us on October 14th, together we can begin to address these
>questions. Help us honor and celebrate the fascinating initiatives already

>The Five Rivers Council "planning group" (open to all) sees this inaugural
>Council Gathering on October 14th as the first of many to come. We're
>oriented toward long-term readjustment rather than quick fixes, knowing
>that creative, appropriate, community-based change and adaptation is a
>long-term process. We hope the Five Rivers Council will prove to be a
>useful, informing, inspiring and —always —democratic vehicle for bringing
>us together to better understand and support that process.

>* The Five Rivers are the Connecticut, Millers, Green, Deerfield, and
>Sawmill Rivers. The Five Rivers area, or community, roughly coincides with
