Vashon Island Events: “Stone Soup – A Discussion about Hard Times and Hope”

Vision for Vashon Island will host “Stone Soup: A Discussion about Hard Times and Hope”from 4-6:30 PM on Sunday, February 1 at the Vashon Presbyterian Church.  Guests are invited to bring a contribution for the vegetarian or meat-based (“meat-a-tarian”?) soups.  Salad and bread will be provided. 

The gathering is intended to provide an opportunity for the community to tell their stories of how the economic downturn has affected them or may affect them in the future.  It is hoped that the process of sharing and deep listening will break down the sense of aloneness that permeates personal crisis.

This is the first in a series of community education programs which will include presentations on political advocacy, organizing and fundraising, as well as breakout sessions in food security, transportation, housing, health care, local exchange currency, the “greening” of  Vashon Island and community-based funding sources such as revolving loan funds.

Vision for Vashon is a new Vashon Island resource for Island residents to explore means to deal with the economic crisis locally.  The organization has distributed information by flyer which identifies sources for food and shelter.
