[SEMCO] Gulf Coast and Massachusetts

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill continues.   Almost five years have  passed 
since hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the coast of Louisiana.    The 
rebuilding of New Orleans continues,  with much controversy.
 
In early June,   Falmouth will have two Wednesday night programs  that 
respond to the Gulf.     Both of these environmental  programs are free and open 
to the public.   Information:    (508) 457-0449.
 
 
JUNE 2nd  (Wednesday):     Volunteers from  community and religious groups 
continue to work in the rebuilding of New  Orleans.      Rev. Bob Murphy,  
who has been a New  Orleans volunteer, will speak about
his involvement in New Orleans with the Sierra Club and the National  
Council of Churches.    (The two groups work  together.)       A video about 
volunteer  activities in New Orleans will be shown.
 
This program starts at 7:00 pm.     The program will  take place at the 
Unitarian Universalist church,  840 Sandwich Road, in  Falmouth.      The 
building is accessible for people  with disabilies.
 
 
JUNE 9th (Wednesday):    Presentations about marine  pollution issues by 
Jack Pearce and the Sierra Club's David  Dow.     A variety of issues will be 
discussed, with an  update on the Gulf oil spill and its environmental 
impact.    The  Sierra Club's response to the Gulf oil spill will be discussed.
 
This program will also start at 7:00 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist  
church in Falmouth.
 
These programs have been developed by the Unitarian Universalist church in  
Falmouth, to acknowledge World Oceans Day   (June 8)   and  the start of 
hurricane season on June 1st.
