SUMMARY:Regenerating Earth Book Tour with Kelsey Timmerman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of conversation about living regeneratively with bestselling author and journalist Kelsey Timmerman as he presents his new book Regenerating Earth: Farmers Working with Nature to Feed Our Future. \nDoors Open: 6 PM | Event Start: 6:30 PM \nTimmerman comes from a long line of farmers and lives in rural Indiana\, surrounded by monocultures of corn and soybeans. Motivated by the challenges he saw at home—polluted water and air\, and fraying ties between land and community—and a belief that humans can be a force for good\, he set out to find a more hopeful path. \nOver five years and across five continents\, Timmerman met farmers\, Indigenous leaders\, and activists. From Hawaiian kalo patches to the Amazon rainforest and Maasai cattle lands\, Regenerating Earth is a compelling\, deeply personal\, and surprisingly joyful journey that explores what it means to live regeneratively. Not just in how we farm\, but in how we connect to each other and the planet. Through stories full of grit\, heart\, and humor\, Timmerman reminds us that healing the Earth isn’t just possible\, it’s already happening\, and we can all be part of it. \n  \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:District 10 Budget Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:This is the time of year Austin puts together its annual financial plan\, and City Hall needs to hear from residents like you! That’s why my team and I are holding a Budget Town Hall in early August. \nWHEN: Wednesday\, August 6\, 6 – 8 PM (doors open at 5:30) \nWHERE: Northwest Hills United Methodist Church\, 7050 Village Center Dr. \nRSVP: Register at bit.ly/3GIO0Bl \nYour input on Austin’s budget is more important than ever. A financial shortfall was projected for the first time in many years\, giving local officials a tough choice: They’ll need to either manage public funds more effectively or present voters with a tax increase. \nJoin us to learn more\, ask questions\, and share your priorities for our community. The evening will include a budget presentation\, a public discussion\, and an update from Texas State Senator Sarah Eckhardt on legislative issues that could impact Austin’s finances.
