About this Event

The Green Lunch Series will delve into topics such as energy, food security, equity and gender, smart growth, land use, transportation, materials, and emerging innovations. Through engaging speakers, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, we aim to explore the positive future envisioned by millions worldwide, with a keen focus on local perspectives and solutions.

Please join us on Tuesday, June 9th from 12:00PM-1:00PM (location: library branch tbd)

Presented by Leslie Schaller, founder, and Grace Corbin, both worker-owners of Casa Nueva. A discussion on worker owned cooperatives through the story of Casa Nueva, reflecting on what it took for a group of restaurant workers to start and sustain a co-op in the modern world, and how community support helped grow their vision beyond the restaurant.

This is a free to attend, brown bag lunchtime discussion. Bring your lunch and join us for the noon hour as we discuss local sustainability efforts!
