Ethical Action Report From the AEU: Information

 

Of Interest-- Society and Other

 

SOLAR ENERGY FORUM

When: Thursday, April 24 – 7:00 - 9:00PM

Where: The Ethical Culture Society of Essex County

(516 Prospect Street, Maplewood, NJ - corner of Parker Ave)

Free Admission (small donations accepted) – Light Refreshments Served


Come to the Solar Forum sponsored by the Essex Greens Clean Energy Campaign. Learn how solar energy works in its various forms, determine whether your home or business can take advantage of the sun to reduce or even eliminate your energy bills. See what incentives the state and federal government offers to offset the cost of this investment. Find out what the financing options are.

The panel will include one of the leading solar experts in the state, as well as  those skilled in performing home energy audits that greatly reduce wasting of energy typical in most buildings. Whether or not you go solar, you will save money and help the environment if you follow the guidelines established by these energy performance audits.

Ample time provided for a Q & A session after the presentations.

For up-to-date information on this event, go to:

www.EssexCountyGreens.org/ and click on 'Go Solar in Essex', or call Barry at 973-327-488

  • Sylvia Kramer’s Poetry Evening is set for Saturday, April 26, at 7 p.m. If you believe you could never write anything, you are a perfect candidate. Sylvia weaves her magic in a most delightful way — and voila! — a poem appears. Or it’s great fun to come and just listen. Treat yourself to this experience.
  • Note the date change for Wine and Cheese at The Shore — May 2 — Barbara Lipton has graciously offered her new “digs” overlooking the ocean at the Jersey shore for a wine and cheese event. $15 per person.
  • More Concert News — Marjorie Berg and pianist John Pivarnik, along with Margaret Walker, flautist, return on May 31, in a concert of romance and passion. Please keep the date open — this will be a lovely evening of music and meeting old friends and new. Updates and details to follow soon.
  • June 7 — Gloria Torrice’s daughter will graciously host another event this year. Details to follow.
  • June 21 is our annual afternoon at Boe’s Place — A Day in the Country — (And yes, the lake is still there, too). Eat, drink, swim, paddle, chat. Always great food and camaraderie. $25 per person.
  • Mini Market   We are continuing with Nancy Bohn’s idea for raising funds after the Sunday Platform — offering good, useful items for re-sale. If you would like to participate, bring your clean, saleable items on Sunday, we will sort and ticket those that are marketable. You take them back home if not sold — or just peruse the goods, and maybe you’ll find something you’ve been looking for. Items are on a table on Sunday, then on the mantle during the week.
