[Green] Belated call for agenda items for April 15 Green Sanctuary meeting

[gbanz42 at suddenlink.net]

Dawn:

    I would add two quick items:

     a. Our Faithify campaign funds should be transferred directly to our FUUSM account by now--I'll try to find out the exact amount.

     I thought I had mentioned earlier that the Marietta Times is agreeable to having Dave Ballantyne and me write a regular column on renewable energy--as a balance to the regular column by Bob Chase.

Unfortunately, that’s the same time as the Bridges luncheon in the social hall. I’m sorry about the unfortunate conflict. Here’s what I know we must discuss:

UUMFE and UUSJ believe this will provide a “Just Transition” from a coal-dependent economy and will put people back to work, leading to a more sustainable community and a brighter future. I'd like to continue the letter-writing activities with a table in the Social Hall on April 15 and 22. We'll collect the letters and send them to UUSJ gathered in a packet that they will combine with letters from other congregations to hand-deliver to our senators' offices.  What do you think? Let me know if you'd be able to help with the campaign, and make this part of our Earth Day activities.
