Ensuring the Future by Acting in the Present
The Poet of Poverty is SOLD OUT! Is everyone going to The Poet of Poverty? The response from the community has been overwhelming and we are currently over subscribed to the screening of the documentary “The Poet of Poverty” and the following panel discussion with Fr. Michael Doyle and representatives from The Center for Transformation. For those with reservations for the January 21st Poet of Poverty program, please get there by 6:45. We have started a waiting list and would like to start promptly at 7pm.  The event is free, but donations will be accepted for The Center for Transformation. We would like to harness the region’s interest in a meaningful connection with Camden by offering regular opportunities to learn and work together. Saturday, January 23, 2010, 9:30 -noon: Workday at Eve’s Garden Sign up if you can give a few hours to work in the greenhouse of Eve’s Garden preparing a planting are for winter crops. Come get your hands dirty, transforming a small patch of Waterfront South in Camden into a source of healthy food for the neighborhood!  For more information, call Andrea Ferich at 856-283-1338. Saturday, February 13 , 2010, 10 – noon: Poet of Poverty, Continue the Conversation! Sponsored by Sustainable Cherry Hill and the Center for Transformation Join us in Waterfront South to continue the conversation begun here at the Cherry Hill Library! There will be an eco-tour of the neighborhood, along with opportunities to share with each other, as well as with the Center volunteers, ideas about moving forward in partnership. Coffee and refreshments will be available. This is free, but reservations are required so that adequate preparations can be made. For more information, contact Mark Doorley at 856-429-1779 or markdoorleynj@verizon.net. This is just the start of the ongoing, unique relationship we hope to cultivate with the Waterfront South community in Camden.  Remember, we are already closely connected, as every toilet flush in Camden County and all of our garbage ends up in this neighborhood.  As human beings, we have much to gain by meeting and working side by side with our neighbors in Camden. Take a moment to look at the full range of volunteer/sponsorship opportunities available to make a positive impact on this community (and ourselves!): Center for Transformation Volunteer Opportunities (1) Center for Transformation Volunteer Opportunities (2) Gardeners!! We are also pairing the The Center for Transformation and their Junior Gardeners for a seed/seedling ordering opportunity/sale.  Read more here.

As a Master Herbalist I am always interested in ways to keep and sustain Mother Earth and teach others in the care and sustainability of healthy food. Please count me in for all gardening projects as well as any lecturing that would be needed for the inner city of Camden. Thank you for this opportunity to give.
As much as I can understand right now, I think you’re right!
