The Resiliency Institute is hosting regular opportunities for people to gather together to enjoy a meal, share community, watch a movie, and engage in conversation. We invite you, your friends, and family to come out for a visit.

In January we will host the showing of a 90 minute movie about the importance of protecting our pollinators. “Animals pollinate approximately 75 percent of the crop plants grown worldwide for food, fiber, beverages, condiments, spices, and medicines. It has been calculated that one out of every three to four mouthfuls of food we eat and beverages we drink is delivered to us by pollinators. Not only do native pollinators provide us with a significant amount of the food we eat and contribute to the economy, they also perform key roles in natural ecosystem. By helping to keep plant communities healthy and able to reproduce naturally, native pollinators assist plants in providing food and cover for wildlife, preventing erosion, and keeping waterways clean.” (NRCS, Native Pollinators)

This is a potluck event, so please bring food to share. When you register, write in the type of dish you will be bringing (main, side, or dessert) We will provide plateware and silverware, but please bring a cup. The meal will begin at 2:15 pm followed by the movie and conversation.
