Come on Out! Harvest Moon Society Annual General Meeting – “Celebrating the past, opening doors for the future”

Colin Anderson — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:39:04 +0000

The Harvest Moon Society has accomplished many amazing things this year. From our most successful festival to date to the ongoing education and outreach with the local Prairie Spirit School Division, University of Manitoba, and much much more. There is a lot to celebrate, but also a need to continue adapting and to find the resources to carry on this important work. So this year’s AGM is especially focused on finding ways to bring new ideas and energy into this growing network and movement.

The AGM will be structured similarly to other years, with existing committees doing their respective reporting on Saturday morning, but leaving a significant portion of that afternoon to talk about new project ideas and strategies and ways to empower interested new Mooners to continue building on our collective vision. If you’re interested in getting involved please contact Jo-Lene Gardiner at jolenekeith@gmail.com or (204) 825-3512 to get more details about the AGM.

And, of course, we’ll have a hell of a good time along the way and afterwards!

Check out this short picture montage assembled by Joseph (Joey) Goertz. Joey participated as a student in the University of Manitoba living rural communities and environments course two years ago and has since become involved in a number of Harvest Moon projects lending his talent as a skilled photographer.

The video features many of the Harvest Moon projects including youth focused education, the lessons from the land trail, the architecture stuo projects and the living rural communities and environment course. A portrait of the beatiful landscape and the amazing community that comes together in Clearwater.
