WHEN: 3 to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 8

WHERE: Room 100 on the Antioch University Seattle campus, at 2326 Sixth Ave. in Belltown

WHY: Honor friends and loved ones this season with a gift of sustainable self-sufficiency for an individual, family or village in a developing country or for those in the Seattle area who need the basics such as clean water, livestock, sustainable agriculture, literacy and vocational training. View exhibits and learn about different global sustainable development projects that can be supported in a tangible way. Become part of a community of people forging new traditions and challenging materialistic values.
