From Sustainable Lawrence:

If You Think of Yourself…

…as a sustainability activist at all, you will want to make sure you save the dates for an amazing event to take place June 5-6 on the campus of Rider University in Lawrence Township.

Entitled “Stoking Our Sustainability Fire”, this event seeks to build, strengthen and expand the growing sense of community those concerned with this challenge, Nonprofit leaders, business people, municipal officials, religious leaders, farmers, teachers — it won’t matter what you do.  If you’re serious about moving your community, organization or neighborhood deep into the 21st century as a truly sustainable place to be — you want to be with us.

Spend this time coming together, delving into the diversity that is the sustainability community, and learning more about how to live the practice, extend the message, and make real the powerful, positive vision of sustainable life in which you have come to believe so strongly.

Sponsored by a large number of organizations in education, faith, business, and community activism, folks from Sustainable Lawrence will be there in numbers.   Executive Director Ralph Copleman will be leading an all-day track on leadership for sustainability.  SL Board Chair David Prescott will convene the event.  SL founder Pam Mount will also lead a session.

It’s workshops.  It’s community-building.  It could be life-changing.  It’s a celebration, too.

You’ll start seeing full details soon.  In the meantime, mark down the information you see here, and contact us with any questions.

P.S. Forward this e-mail to anyone you think may be interested.  Thank you.
