[SEMCO] Rachel Carson Dinner, October 18, in Falmouth

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

The Rachel Carson Dinner, on Saturday night, October 18, in Falmouth, will 
honor the memory and legacy of one of America's great environmentalists.  "Ray" 
Carson was a marine biologist and nature writer who was identified with Woods 
Hole for many years.  She may be best-known  because of her book "Silent 
Spring."

The October 18  gathering   will be a fundraiser to assist Falmouth's organic 
community garden and to support  the community food pantries that help 
Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich, and Mashpee Village.   All of the money raised on 
October 18 will  go to these non-profit programs.  Everyone is invited to the Rachel 
Carson program.   It's hoped that this will become an annual event for Cape 
Cod.

A ham and bean supper will be served at the Unitarian Universalist 
meetinghouse, in East Falmouth, from 6-7 pm, on October 18.   At 7:00 pm, entertainment 
will be provided by blues harmonica player Sam Hotchkiss and the legendary 
Falmouth Fiddlers.   Tickets at the door will be $10 per adult.  The suggested 
donation for children 5-12 is $5 per child.   

Vegetarian meals will be available for people who prefer vegetarian meals.  
There will be an information display on October 18 with information about 
Falmouth's organic community garden and local food pantry needs.  Information will 
also be available on some of the local groups that are responding to  
pesticides problems.  NOTE: If you're involved with organic gardens, or if you're 
involved with local environmental organizations, with literature to display, the 
Carson Dinner organizers can provide you with some free exhibit space.  Space 
is limited.  Please call for information.

The Unitarian Universalist meetinghouse is located at 840 Sandwich Road in 
East Falmouth.  The congregation is the sponsor of the Rachel Carson Dinner.  
For additional information, please telephone the meetinghouse at (508) 457-0449.
