Join us for a convivial meal at the Garrison Institute, in the Hudson Valley. In a lively talk our neighbor, author Max Watman asks, how do we keep the spirit of Earth Day alive without growing weary of trends? How can we create cultures of sustainability in our communities instead of cycling through passing fads?

We will be in a building full of spirit at the Garrison Institute. With spirits to drink and a spirited meal in the Chinese year of the Fire Monkey, come celebrate and enjoy a lasting and revitalizing food tradition – the great Chinese banquet and join in the spirited discussion.

RSVP here.
