This is great. The Active Community Teach-in on March 21 was so well attended, informative, such positive energy, and encouraging to experience how many dedicated individuals and groups we have in the community. It’s great that others can now have access to a lot of what happened, can learn and be inspired, and may decide to get more involved. Thanks Eric.
Thank you Doug!! (Note, you’ll be able to hear this writer’s excellent remarks from the March 21 program in the WERU broadcast that will post here after it airs (3-4pm today, Sat. April 4).
