From Grunge to Green - New FIC Office!


Making the Shift from Grunge to Green
by Laird Schaub, for the Fellowship Board

The FIC has been in the business of promoting cooperative culture for 25 years. The first decade we operated out of Board members' bedrooms and "virtual" offices. Then a supportive group donated an unused house trailer. We hauled that to Sandhill Farm and set it up as our first permanent office. For the last 15 we've made do with that flimsy '70s era facility that's bitter cold in January and sweltering hot in July. Enough is enough.

Last year the Board made the commitment to establish decent working conditions for our growing operations, and our first choice is to relocate to Dancing Rabbit, a thriving ecovillage of 70 adults on the way to hundreds, located just three miles away.

As one of the foremost ecovillages in the world, Dancing Rabbit is effectively creating a truly sustainable village! Read stats here on the dramatic reduction in resource use.

Join us and thousands of others in helping the FIC shift from grunge to GREEN in the next 45 days! If each of the 13,000+ people on this email list contributes just $3 we will build the new office in no time!

Thanks for believing in FIC's power to help shift to a cooperative culture.
