 * June 13-15, *2008 *SPRING BIOREGIONAL CAMPOUT*
 
 Dear Friend of Life Regions and Community,
 
 Come congregate with us at the DuBose Natural Farm on the Little Blanco
 River, to share information, play together and to celebrate the life, the
 land and the continuing thread of the community building the new character
 of our culture in the Texas Hill Country. Three auspicious days :
 
 Friday the 13th, Saturday, Flag Day (who knew?), and Fathers Day Sunday. The
 *Spring 2008 Bioregional Campout*, June13-15 focus upon "*Nurturing the
 Sustainable Tradition*".
 
 As the *un*sustainable, exploited land(usages) and community, realize that
 we have again been done a huge favor, once more in our ongoing relationship
 with each other we are watching and sculpting as life shakes itself
 out, discarding what is not useful on our way to just and joyous culture.
 
 As we've done so often, we will gather Friday, mid-afternoon to prepare
 the site, find places to pitch a tent, or throw our cot, bedroll or palette,
 and begin our week-end. This is the area around Blanco, which is also
 celebrating the "*Lavender Festival*" on this weekend, so notice as you
 drive, and perhaps come early to drive around Blanco. One disappointing bit
 of news: the unusually late winds, together with the heat has the usual
 Little Blanco River swimming holes all dried up, but other places are within
 walking distance. The past few seasonal campouts at the DuBose Farm have
 been well attended, fun, informative and joyfully and gratefully received.
 
 Bring musical instruments, food to share (pot luck), maybe a $5 per car
 donation, whatever you want to sleep in or on. There are places to sleep on
 floors with ceilings and roofs. Some cooking  facilities, a wood-burning hot
 tub and sauna and lots of fun folks – no dogs please.
 
 Come open to sharing your experiences, thought, and optimism. COME TO
 THIS FUN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY EVENT IN THE COUNTRY!
