He said no, but he said he could do it some weeknight evening. I’m all for it, but it doesn’t help us with RE in April.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thoughts?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—dawn<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">From: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">"Blaine, Thomas" <<a href="mailto:blaine.17@osu.edu" class="">blaine.17@osu.edu</a>><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">RE: Would you present on a Sunday morning in Marietta?</b><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">February 24, 2017 at 12:25:30 PM EST<br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0);" class=""><b class="">To: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Dawn Hewitt <<a href="mailto:hewitt@earth-maker.com" class="">hewitt@earth-maker.com</a>><br class=""></span></div><br class=""><div class=""><div class="">Dawn: Thanks for your e-mail.

Our faith community shares seven principles, and the Seventh Principle is “respect for the universe and its resources, and recognition of the interconnectedness of all life.” The Green Sanctuary Committee is responsible for our Religious Exploration sessions during Earth Month. We’ve chosen the theme for our RE series to be “Putting the Seventh Principle Into Practice.”<br class=""><br class="">I know you’ll be visiting Marietta on March 21 to speak on Global Climate Change and Gardening. This sounds to me to be an interesting and important topic, and one that is of interest to many members of my faith community. But I work 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, so it is doubtful I will be able to attend your talk. I’m sure that’s true for many others in Marietta, so… Would you consider a repeat performance from 9:30-10:30 one of these Sunday mornings: April 2, 9, 23, or 30 as a guest presenter for one of our RE sessions?<br class=""><br class="">We would be pleased and honored if you would speak to our RE group on climate change and gardening—if you would be willing to do it on a Sunday morning. Please let me know!<br class=""><br class="">Thank you for considering this!<br class=""><br class="">Best wishes,<br class=""><br class="">Dawn Hewitt<br class="">(812) 320-3449<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
