This Saturday is an upcoming tour of the Eco Village neighborhood. This is where you will find our building and we look forward to taking this tour. Come join us! I got this note from Lilah, who is the community go to person for all things Eco Village:
Hi All,
Happy Summer! Over the months I have had many requests for tours of the Cleveland EcoVillage. Unfortunately I have not been able to accommodate all of the requests. This Saturday, the 29th, we will be offering a tour of the Cleveland EcoVillage for anyone interested in seeing the latest in green building and sustainability centered urban redevelopment. The tour is sponsored by a great new group – YNPN – Young Non-Profit Professional Network. We welcome you to join us as we meet new friends and explore the ever evolving Cleveland EcoVillage. Bring a bag lunch and stay for a meal and discussion in the Ithaca Community Garden. Drinks will be provided. The details are below! We hope to see you there. Also- please forward this email to anyone and everyone that may be interested. Thanks! – Lilah Zautner
Then here are the details from Ian at YNPN:
