Dear press contacts, speakers, vendors, fellow Transitioners and friends,
Please find attached a flyer and a press release for the screening of the movie carbon nation on the Green in Southern Village on Friday, Oct 14. Please help advertise the event and distribute flyers and information to reach as many people as possible. The movie is very inspiring and hopeful. I believe it will inspire people who see it to take small measures themselves, like participating in Phase 2 of the Town of Chapel Hill WISE program. We will screen the film carbon nation on the Southern Village Green on Friday, October 14 at around 7pm. (Rain date: Oct. 15.).
Carbon nation is an optimistic discovery of what people are already doing, what we as a nation could be doing and what the world needs to do to prevent (or slow down) the impending climate crisis. We already have the technology to combat most of the worst-case scenarios of climate change, and it is very good business as well. See a trailer and learn more about the film at www.carbonnationmovie.com. Come see how people across the country are cutting their carbon emissions and their energy costs. The screening will be introduced by speakers
Leif Forer – co-founder of Piedmont Biofuels
Dennis Markatos-Soriano, Executive Director East Coast Greenway Alliance
Jane Norton, Chief Visionary OfficerReSourcing Natural Solutions & Eartheal
and will be accompanied by a mini-energy efficiency fair featuring the Town of Chapel Hill WISE program and these local providers of energy services and local food:
Town of Chapel Hill WISE program
EnergyTribe
Strata Solar
Green Horizon
Transition Carrboro-Chapel Hill
BIG Bundts (local food)
Parlez Vous Crepe (local food)
Bikescream (local bike powered Ice Cream)
Viewers inspired by the movie can take immediate action by consulting energy experts, getting information and contacts, or even scheduling energy assessments for their homes right there and then. Come join the fun!

Dear Friends/Neighbors,
One of the most memorable things about moving to a new neighborhood is being welcomed by the neighbors (or not!). The three of us moved to Southern Village between several months and several years ago, and we’ve appreciated being warmly welcomed by many of our respective neighbors. But we’d like to do more – both for our new neighbors themselves as well as for our community as a whole, weaving the fabric toward a more tightly knit community. Southern Village’s friendliness is one of the things that drew many of us here. Now that Neighborship is up and running, this seemed like a logical next step.
To that end, Sue Goloby and I (with the support of HOA board member, Mary Jo Coppola) would like to begin a SV Welcoming Committee. We’ve begun to gather ideas about how this might work. For example, it would be nice to have a welcome basket for new residents (including items from Market Street merchants interested in participating) and some basic information about SV and Chapel Hill. We were also toying with the idea of meeting with the newest neighbors at a local restaurant periodically so they can get to know each other too.
If you have interest in joining Sue and me in forming the Welcoming Committee, we plan to meet at 7 pm on Thurs, Sept 29. Please contact Susan or Sue and we’ll provide you the address.
And whether or not you have time or inclination to be on the committee, we appreciate everyone’s ideas for what we might consider for our initial efforts!
Kind Regards,
Susan Duke, Sue Goloby and Mary Jo Coppola
