NEW YEARS DAY: Cape Cod's "Energy, Peace, and Justice" event will start at 11:00 am, at the Woods Hole Community Hall in Woods Hole. At noon, we'll have a lively parade around Eel Pond, in Woods Hole.
One again, there will be lots of emphasis on helping people as they cope with the economic recession, with the continuing wars, and with the cold weather season. We've done this for several years.

If you want more information on either event, let me know. My telephone number appears below.

What's the vision for "energy justice"?
