[Green] Matching funds for solar expansion

[Brad Bond]

I'm guessing Joe Baker. I was not able to get the Wwayne lots in Washington County from what you sent. I see that Monroe County had their auction. When is Washington County due?

  A brochure is a great idea. Who has the template for the stained glass windows brochure? Jann Adams?

  I think a brochure/flyer would be a great idea.  And I like the wording and explanation you gave as well, Dawn.

    Dawn:

        This is a great start on the fund raising for our solar panels.

        Do we want to create a brochure/flyer  like Joe Baker and others did for the stained glass windows?

    It is April, Earth Month, and the month we designated to begin tracking down funding for our solar expansion to take advantage of the matching funds offer. Ideas?

    Sure, we can solicit donations at our Earth Day booth. What else? A guest editorial in the newspaper? Social media?

    I propose this approach: Lots of people, like me, would love to have solar panels on our roofs—not because it will lower our electric bill, but because we wish to reduce our dependence upon climate-changing fossil fuels. But I can’t afford it, and my roof line faces a less than desirable direction, and my yard has too many trees that I don’t want to cut down. My house and property are not likely candidates for solar power, and my wallet is another limiting factor. So what can I do? I can help fund solar power in the Mid-Ohio Valley by contributing to the expansion of the solar array at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta. My house might still be powered by fossil fuels, but donating to the FUUSM More Solar Fund, I’ll be reducing dependence on fossil fuels right here in Marietta. As an added bonus, every dollar I contribute will be matched by a grant from an anonymous benefactor.

    Something like that. I wonder if there are businesses who would chip in to help us. It would be tax deductible, right?

    Other ideas, please! This snuck into my dreams last night!
