AGM Highlights from the September Meeting

SETI had its AGM in September. Why are we hearing about that in November [you may ask]?! Well, mostly because of commitments to “putting up the harvest.” But that's done now, and we are moving into winter mode. Highlights of the meeting are attached.

At the AGM we brainstormed ideas on how SETI can continue to make a difference in the Southeast. Remember please that SETI is only as strong as the commitment of concerned people to exert themselves to make a difference. Below is a list of places you could plug in this winter. Or you have a vision we do not list. Check out your available energy and passion, and see how you can strengthen our ability to make a difference in this community.

  • Write an article for Rethinking Lifestyle
  • Assist in the planning of events and workshops
  • Assist in the preparation and delivery of a presentation to Steinbach City Council and the Municipal Councils of Southeastern Manitoba
  • Promoting the consumption and sale of locally produced food
  • Planning and preparing a display for Summer in the City and/or the Niverville Fair
  • Some Transition Groups have collected pledges to encourage people to live more sustainably, we would like to try that.
  • Help to organize and build an environmentally responsible home in this area.
