This Week's Meeting -- November 9, 2016
PROGRAM THIS WEEK
Citizens' Climate Lobby
Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots advocacy organization focused on national policies to address climate change. Its consistently respectful, non-partisan approach to climate education is designed to create a broad, sustainable foundation for climate action across all geographic regions and political inclinations. This should be an interesting presentation of a very current public issue. ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PROJECT UPDATES
