We just got our second article in three days in the Cambridge Chronicle! Check it out!

Our first symposium is tomorrow and we are hoping to have a good turnout of people. Mark and I will be facilitating at the College Ave United Methodist Church (in Davis Square in Somerville) on Saturday from 1-4pm. We are also working hard on planning our first big event ("I know I'm not getting coal in MY stocking!"-Mark).
We've also been keeping tabs on the important House of Representives vote today on the new Climate Bill (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31565446/ns/us_news-environment/).
Tonight we are all biking to Boston to take part in the monthly "Critical Mass". Their website (http://www.bostoncriticalmass.org/) explains that "Critical Mass is a vision of a happy, bike-friendly world replacing our polluted, congested roads, a protest for better cycling facilities and against car culture, a mobile paean to bicycling’s joys, a merry ride downtown and through the neighborhoods with friends, and more – all rolled into one convenient monthly ride right after work! Critical Mass is a party on two wheels to celebrate bicycling – a fast, friendly, clean, efficient, healthy, cheap, sensible, and fun way to get around the city." We will be canvassing during the event and handing out flyers for our symposium tomorrow. We hope to connect with other motivated people and groups in Boston!
Also, while canvassing around Tufts University, we knocked on the door of one fellow who had already checked out our website, signed the petition online, and had seen us biking around Davis Square already. He is part of a group called Emergent Energy Group (http://emergentgroup.com/) which started up at Tufts and plans, designs, and facilitates the advancement of community-based alternative energy projects and sustainable ventures throughout New England and beyond.
Keep up the good work!
