ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CELEBRATION
 
Every year since 2001,   environmentalists and others have  gathered on New 
Years Day for an unusual celebration in Woods  Hole.    Individuals promise 
to do their best to protect coastal  areas and to improve community life in 
coastal cities and  towns.    Here's the plan for  January 1, 2012.
 
INTERFAITH SERVICE:   Starts at 11:00 am, at the Woods Hole  Community 
Hall, on Water Street, in Woods Hole.     All  people are invited.    The main 
speaker will be Rev. Bob  Murphy.    He's the first religious leader to 
receive an award  from the national Sierra Club because of his religious work.    
 Rev. Murphy
will speak on the subject,   "Economic and Environmental  Justice."
 
COMMUNITY EVENTS:   At noon, the group will begin its annual walk  around 
Eel Pond.    This is a family event and children,  especially, are invited.   
  Bring cameras, holiday flags,  and noisemakers....   Everybody gets to 
shout   "Happy New  Years!"   to the world....    We'll pause at the  water's 
edge to "toast the coast"
with non-alcoholic beverages.     Afterwards, there  will be a potluck 
party at the Community Hall.
 
All activities are free.   Nothing will be sold.   The  Community Hall is 
easily accessible for people with
disabilities.....   Information about economic and environmental  justice 
activities will be on display and
there will be opportunities to talk with people who are concerned about  
these subjects.
 
Special thanks to the Sierra Club's Cape Cod and Islands Group for its  
support.
 
For additional information about this event, please call   (508)  457-0449.
