[Murphydalzell]

Environmentalists -

The last three summers have been brutal.     Millions of Americans have suffered because of droughts, heat waves, massive power failures, extreme weather events, and other problems.     Last  October,   Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast and caused major damage to coastal communities.

Hurricane season starts on June 1st.     Two programs have been developed for Cape Cod and island communities that are trying to respond to immediate problems.   If you're concerned about climate change,  please join us.

MAY 29th:  (Wednesday.)    Community program for grassroots groups and congregations that are concerned about the health and safety issues that related to climate change.
