On Friday, October 3rd at 6:30, the doors of the Douglas Flat
Schoolhouse will be open to everyone interested in learning more about
sustainable living and local self-reliance. This public gathering of
the Foothill Collaboration for Sustainability (FoCuS) will feature
wines, cheeses, and delicacies from local sustainable farms. A local
musical group named E'k'B featuring artists Erin Ross, Bill Welles,
and Kent Walsh, will perform two short concert segments. Co-founder
Dr. Jakob Jaggy, whose holistic medical practice is in Columbia, will
be the featured speaker, talking about the vision of FoCuS. FoCuS is a
rapidly growing local 501(c)3 nonprofit organization devoted to
promoting sustainable lifestyles, businesses, agriculture, housing,
transportation, sustainable energy solutions, and health and wellness
in Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties.
The Douglas Flat Schoolhouse is the oldest surviving schoolhouse in
Calaveras County, located on Main Street, Douglas Flat. The exact date
it was built is not know, but it is either 1854 or 1856, and it
remains in much the same condition as during the gold rush days.
Seating is limited to 65 people so, come early, bring your own chair,
eating utensils, and cup or wine glass. Carpooling is encouraged
through Yahoo groups Sonorapassrides for Tuolumne County, or
Ebbettspassrides for Calaveras County. Come mingle and meet folks with
kindred interests and lifestyles.
