 Hi Friends:
            This Sunday Aug. 17th is our free film screening of "The 11th Hour" - this film is for everyone who would like our planet to survive and be able to support life as we know it.  This is not political in the sense of thinking "right" or "left" or "Democrat" or "Republican" or "Hawks" or "Doves" - this is our world.  We can sit idly by and do nothing or wake up and work at repairing and cleaning up the air, water and soil.  Please join us this Sunday and see this documentary which explores the perilous state of our planet and the means by which we can change our course.  We also plan to have our usual views and ideas of what we can individually or as a community.
