Global Climate Strike
Willie and I were among the 10,000 people (maybe more) who took part in the Global Climate Strike protest on Friday, September 20 in Boston. An estimated 4 million participated world wide.

With this change we hope to have waste-free coffee hour and events. (Of course, if you can bring your own travel mug that is even better, and you […]
