Hello,

I am wondering if any of the folks that attended the summer meeting for the Flathead Outpost are still around? I am hoping the group will continue even though Peter has left.

Please come in (reply) if you are out there and interested in continuing the Flathead Outpost. Thanks, Kimberly

Topics to focus upon during the next gathering!!!!!

petermyers — Sun, 14 Aug 2005 21:22:12 -0700

Hey Itâ€™s Peter here and I just wanted to say; Wow!! That was so very great. For those of you who could not make it our were not informed on Sunday the 14th of august a group of people materialized down near Big fork and shared some wonderful conversations that revolved around Sustainability, Community, Education, the coming energy crisis as well as many other important topics. After having such a successful gathering we have decided to get together again. Now this first time was closer to perfection than any participant thought would occur so now we have the task for our next gathering to rise to that standard. I for one would be happy if half the value from the first gathering came from the second but I also think we just might out do ourselves and come away from the second gathering with an even more optimistic view of what we can accomplish together!

Successful Celebration in NW Montana

Laurie — Thu, 28 Jul 2005 07:01:33 -0700

The Flathead Valley Outpost (a.k.a. Valley Action Center) is off and running, having had a successful first event that drew close to a hundred concerned and curious communitiy members last evening. It was the Center's kick-off event-- a "Summer Sustainability Celebration"-- that included speakers, a pot luck dinner, and activities for the children in attendance. Sign up sheets gathered names of citizens with interests in transportation, housing, building, finance, food production, and energy production/consumption. LET THE NETWORKING BEGIN! Way to go Valley Action Center; your well-intentioned hub is now sprouting spokes of support.

How to use this site

Celine Rich — Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:39:27 -0700

There are a few different tools to help us
in our efforts. The more we all use these tools, the better able we will be to build a more sustainable future.

The purpose of the forum discussions area is to let everyone have equal input (all to have a seat at the table) in brainstorming possible ways to become more sustainable on an individual level, as well as a community level. Any topic that you feel is important can be brought up in the forum, where feedback then can be reciprocated. Through this dialogue ideas can be honed before actually performing them. Also this will give people a chance to say â€œhey we over here are trying the same thing, lets put our resources togetherâ€?. In this way, work that our neighbors have already been implementing will not be duplicated. Energy can then be saved and used on another task needing attention. Finding the time to do any task is sometimes hard, but utilizing this web-based forum will allow us to network at anytime of day that is convenient for each of us.

The personal blogs are here for us to share what we are doing, to give the lessons learned, or should I say earned, to any willing pupil. As we write about what we have learned it will enforce those lessons all the more upon our sometimes reluctant to learn minds, as well as clarify them for ourselves. There is no better way to learn than to teach. Also we will receive feedback from those that we have helped, as well as from wise individuals who can steer us in the right direction from their previous lessons and experiences.

The news area will help keep us informed about events that have taken place. It will also be a place were news pertinent to our lives can be found.

Also just having our personal info here Will help us build relationships and make connection that will make it easier to help each other on the road to our shared destination.

What are the most important things that we can get started on? Sustainable: transport, homes, minds, money, food and water. How should we go about making the changes we feel are most important?

I have recently become a member of the Flathead Outpost and would like information on others living off the grid and using ecobuilding techniques in the valley. My partner and I have struggeled to create our partially sustainable home with little guidance from others in the community. We have learned alot and would love to share what we have learned with others and continue to learn ourselves. Lets all work together, jen
