[SEMCO] NEW YEARS DAY: Energy Events in Woods Hole

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

ENERGY and ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE   (January 1)
 
Two  energy-related events will take place in Woods Hole on January  1st.   
 
At 11:00 am, there will be a citizens gathering at the Woods Hole Community  
Hall, on Water Street, to  introduce a new discussion about energy, the  
environment, and human rights.
The Falmouth Clergy Association is sponsoring this event with support from  
the Sierra Club's Cape Cod and Islands Group.   The big question for  New Years 
Day is, "How  can  different groups work together to provide  all people with 
sources of energy that are safe, affordable, adequate,  and  sustainable?"    
What's needed on the Cape and islands this  winter?
 
State Representative Matthew Patrick, who has been involved with energy  
issues for many years, will be the main speaker.    Louise  Patrick, who is an 
authority on fuel assistance programs, will speak about human  needs and energy 
use  in our region.   The Sierra Club will  outline its program  for providing 
local families with basic information  about fuel assistance and home energy 
conservation.    Admission  to this event is free.   However, there will be a 
collection to help  support the work of the Housing Assistance Corporation.
 
At noon, the annual family walk around Eel Pond in Woods Hole will  begin.... 
  Families are encouraged to bring holiday noisemakers,  costumes, and flags 
that are appropriate for New Years Day.     After the walk and a brief 
gathering at Waterfront Park, there will be a potluck  party at the Woods Hole 
Community Hall.    Once again, everybody  is invited!    It's free.
 
The New Years Day events in Woods Hole will help to bring human rights and  
environmental justice concerns into the continuing conversation about coastal  
protection and energy.
 
For more information, please call  the  volunteers  at (508) 457-0449.
