[Green] RE classes in April?

[gbanz42 at suddenlink.net]

Thanks for your message, Dawn.

One slight correction -- Darryl Ting and I that have just completed training to give presentations in middle & high schools on climate change. Dave Ballantyne has been doing these presentations for a while.

To expand a bit on the idea we discussed for adult RE, two thoughts:

     1. Dave Ballantyne for a summary and update on the Citizens Climate Lobby. He has been very active in this initiative.

       2. Dealing with children on climate change--Darryl and I (haven't checked with Darryl yet.

      I also like the idea of a presentation by Katy Lustofsen and Tiffany Harvey.

    Peggy Clifford said that we can have as many Adult RE sessions as we would like.   We just need to inform her of what exactly we are planning.

Traditionally, the Green Sanctuary Committee organizes RE classes in April. That’s flour Sundays for which we’d need to provide a a though-provoking lecture/presentation or discussion lasting 45 minutes (10 to 10:45 a.m.). Let’s come up with some ideas!

George Banziger said that he and Dave Ballantyne have been in training to present climate change science in local schools, so he or they could present that as RE for one or two weeks in April. I love that idea!

Other topics, ideas, or volunteers? 

I’ll be flying to Austin, Texas, for work on Sunday morning, April 20, so I won’t be here for the RE class or for the Green Sanctuary Committee meeting (although I will be here the week before to assemble an agenda), and, presumably, on April 19 for Earth Day events. 

Ya know, we told Tiffany and Katy Lustofsen that we would give time for a discussion of Friends of the Lower Muskingum River during our March Green Sanctuary Committee meeting. But maybe we should change that, and invite her/them to speak for a full 45 minutes on FLMR as an RE topic?  That way, the audience would potentially be even bigger than the GSC; members and friends of FUUSM who aren’t on the GSC will be encouraged to attend RE sessions. 

Your thoughts on any or all of this, please?

Thanks!
