As you may have heard, World Accord is beginning the process of branching out into the greater community - starting with our own back yard of Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph. Our first attempt ever at building awareness here will be a special event. It will be an intimate dinner with Dr. David Suzuki at the Borealis restaurant in Kitchener. Borealis is all about using local "everything". The keynote address will be on achieving sustainability in our lifetime. We will also have a pre-event called the World Accord Passport to Sustainability Tour where locals are encouraged to visit participating suppliers of local food, goods and services. First they pick up a Passport and then get it stamped as they visit these local suppliers. The stamped passports become their draw tickets. Then we have a remote radio feed from the St. Jacobs Market on the day of the draw to win two seats at David Suzuki's table. There will also be another draw to win a Construction Expedition for one to Honduras. As the focus of this event is all about building awareness, most of the tickets for the dinner (there only 100 tickets in all - we want it to be very intimate and special) will be going to the sponsors for the event and also used as prizes for radio stations to give away in their contests. World Accord will be splashed everywhere in the lead up to the event. The social media wires will be humming and it has started already. We wanted you to hear about it here first. Visit http://www.worldaccord.org(external link) for more information. We will have a few tickets for sale that will be done through telephone sales that start at a specific date and time. To keep everything fair - this is the only way tickets will be sold. (Though there are a fixed number of tickets set aside for corporate sales that will not be handled the same way and of course they are more expensive) Keep an eye on the website and on our facebook page if you interested in tickets.

Peace and Blessings
