Dear RN list,

Perhaps you remember the February Gathering on "Strategies to Transform the
Global Economy", which was announced on this list (Feb. 12, '99).

One of the upshots of that gathering is the following initiative to help get
at one of the roots of corporate globalization: the sick money system.

all the best, Jan

Subject: News Update- Community Currency Website

   
"News Update on Community Currency Website/Activities/Events"

     With the help of Robert Armas, dave Ratcliffe, and Jean-Luc, my website- 
          http://www.communitycurrency.org 
                                        is finally up and running.  I've
received a crash course in html 101 and so I can update it and make
corrections myself (wow!!!for a technologically illiterate person like
myself- there are no bells and whistles, mind you!).

    In addition to great links to all the relevant websites/resources...
I've included a calendar of upcoming events/conferences on Money, Local
Currencies, the Global Economy, Global Transformation... (that I know of)
from around the world.

   I've also posted reports from the Gatherings on "Strategies to Transform
the Global Economy" which I've organized (am organizing)... and links to
the various participants who have websites.

   There are also my articles including a new one which is an adaptation of
my speech for The Structure and Economics with a Vision Conference to be
held in Damanhur, Italy in May.

   There are so many conferences, and so much going on, now! I can't begin
to do more than 2% of what I would like to do... since I have 3 small kids
and my husband won't let me go gallivanting all over the place for any
great length of time.  
   I'm glad to announce that I think the Canadian Film Board in conjunction
with a German TV Station might make a very useful film on Money which could
be a great consciousness raising tool.  
   I just wish we had more time!  I feel the pressure of Y2K, and want to
do as much as I can to building the infrastructure of a just, ecological,
community based/network of systems before the current system breaks down
dramatically.

    Please visit the website, let me know if I missed a vital link or  made
a mistake somewhere.  And if you know of an event or something which should
be posted on the site- let me know!

                          Thank-You!  Carol
