Come for good food, great drinks and to learn about campaigns your neighbors have developed to: * Turn surplus city property into community gardens and parks * Link disconnected bike trails and walking paths into and through Tacoma * Transform the Dome District into a vibrant, walkable and livable community Campaign leaders will present their research and plans and show how you can get involved to make the change you want to see in Tacoma. Also: * Connect with other people and organizations working to make a positive difference in our community. * Hear an inspiring story of a neighborhood in Seattle that united to transform an under-used park into a community garden that grows vegetables and community. To win these campaigns, we need you and other engaged community members to join the effort-so come and bring your friends. We'll supply the food. ________________________________ For more information: Please contact Craig Benjamin: (206) 905-6891 or craigb@cascadeland.org.
