Notes from the Black Swamp / Northern Ohio Council

Notes from the Black Swamp / Northern Ohio Council

Present at some time during council: ScottieB, Oden, Rusty, Kassidy, DragonJon, Stephanie, Louis

We had a wonderful Sunday morning hike in the woods. It was beautiful weather, and we saw early flowers, butterflies and various wild critter. Before that, we arrived at the following…

Discussion: We decided to pick one day each for the Van Buren & Van Wert potlucks (normally announced as monthly events), and chose dates considering the known dates for picnics, potlucks and gatherings throughout the surrounding regions.

Discussion: We hope to scout some regionalish spots in the Wayne NF, if any can be found, or at least a location or two for councils. We really DO wish we had a decent National Forest to scout…but then there's always Allegheny, Hoosier, Manistee, Huron, Monongahela, Daniel Boone…

Consensus: We support the Ironton Family, and hope to council in the Hocking Hills region this year

Discussion item: We need to connect folks near Yellow Springs , OH who are into Permaculture Farming / Peak Oil Conference, etc.

Consensus: "Weeeeee Loooooove Yooooou!" (that's for the Michigan Folks, the Cumberland Folks, NERF and the Mid Atlantic Folks – and all the other folks that scout, focalize and keep the regional Home Fires burning!)

Consensus: We support the East Coast Gathering, and hope it can begin on or around Aug 10.
