Note: we've moved the date from Nov. 9th to Nov. 22nd. This will allow us to attend the first Framingham Sierra Club meeting at 7 p.m. on Nov. 9th at the Framingham Public Library (all welcome!). But otherwise, same details, new date.
Book Choice: Eaarth by Bill McKibben
At Edwards Church, UCC; 39 Edwards St., Framingham
Join us if you’ve read the book cover-to-cover, just dipped into the first chapter, or are just curious why this book spells “earth” incorrectly. Bill McKibben has a powerful argument to make about the fate of our earth, a sobering argument that yet leaves room to hope. Come share your thoughts and share some food.
Dessert and beverages provided!
For directions see http://www.edwardschurch.org/directions.html , or call the Edwards office: 508-877-2050. We will most likely meet in the fellowship hall building nearest the parking lot, not the main church building, look for cars parked near, lights on, and an "Earthcare" sign!

Fall Work Day -- Stearns Farm, Oct. 16, 2010
The Grace church group joined Stearns sharers, staff, and other volunteers to help plant over 7,000 garlic this past Saturday. The weather was great, the group enthusiastic, and we had 7 kids with us who turned out to be garlic clove peeling and planting naturals. These work hours are part of our commitment to providing a winter share for the food pantry -- this year's "winter" share will extend into March, so we're looking forward to picking up spinach, kale, and root veggies in a warm greenhouse in the snow as 2010 turns to 2011.
Thank you to Amelia, our 9 year-old photographer. You won't see her in the photos because she was behind the lens!

Trees for Framingham, Trees for Tanzania
We did it! 10/10/10 was definitely a success!
One beautiful afternoon, three beautiful trees, three very skilled guys from Framingham Parks and Rec, one truck, many shovels, one shovel on a bike, and thirty incredible volunteers, who along the way contributed $150 to help plant three million trees on Mt. Kilimanjaro. What a great day -- no matter which number you look at. And hopefully drawing some attention to the big number "350."
Thanks to all who came!
UPDATE (10/23/10): We have now raised $350 towards the Mt. Kilimnjaro tree project, with some additional donations and matching funds from the Barnes Foundation. Thank you so much too all who contributed -- you can find out more where we are sending the $ here.
