[Green] Thomas Blaine CANNOT do a RE session

[Dawn Hewitt]

I asked Thomas Blaine, who will be presenting “Global Climate Change and Gardening” at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21, if he would do a repeat performance some Sunday morning in April. 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.

Thoughts?

> Dawn:  Thanks for your e-mail.  I understand the scheduling on a weekday like we have would make it difficult for some to attend.  I cannot give a presentation on a Sunday morning however.  Perhaps a weeknight would allow you and others who cannot make the presentation on the 21st to attend?  Please let me know, and thanks again for your interest.

> I’m Dawn Hewitt, chair of the Green Sanctuary Committee at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta. 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.”

> 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?
