Chris Ryan of Concord Local organized an informal discussion about how all of our Locals could work together. He is also the town planner for Ayer and we met in their huge town hall - what a room. There were about 12 of us there, including folks from Groton, Harvard, and Concord Locals as well as some folks from Ayer and of course myself from Boxborough. After a couple hours of chat we found a local bar for some refreshment and another couple hours of chat. It was fun to be in a room full of people who know the meaning of words like Relocalization, Local Food, and Peak Oil.

A lot more will come from this, I think. If anyone wants to get involved in this effort, please comment below or send me mail.
