From Cool Aquidneck Island

Two priority reminders!

Greetings from frizzly Seattle! I'll be attending a 350.org Candlelight Vigil here, tonight.

Back home, Salve Regina's faculty and staff environment committee is hosting a vigil in tonight in Washington Square at 6:30. Please go, and help tell the leaders in Copenhagen that we need real action now!

And Saturday morning, after thinking globally last night, take a couple of hours to act locally to help lower energy consumption. Help us distribute door hangers in Newport and Jamestown, informing residents of both National Grid's home energy audit program, and the Neighborhood Energy Challenge.

Details: Meet at 9:45 AM in the Channing Memorial Church Parish Hall, the gray building behind the sanctuary. (Channing is on Pelham St., Newport, next door to the Elks' Lodge, and across from the Old Mill in Touro Park.)

You'll be given a map for the area to visit, and you'll hang door tags from 10 AM to 12 noon. (Important reminders: Don't put any in mailboxes--that's a violation of federal law! Don't open any doors. Just hang the tags as best you can.

At noon, return to Channing Parish Hall for a pizza fest!

And thank you! Sorry to miss all the fun.
