This blog entry goes with this event listing.
Come one, come all to the Blount County Public Library next Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 6pm for a panel discussion on electricity production, Green Power, and energy efficiency. Learn how to lower your electric bills and thereby reduce the amount of air pollution generated and lower the demand for coal. Learn how the Green Power Switch program works and why renewable energy is better for environmental health.
Tell your friends and neighbors!
The presentation at the library is part of a larger community awareness effort undertaken by three Maryville College seniors. One of them wrote about their efforts for Hellbender Press.

NIKKI???
Hi Nikki,
I hope this is YOU! I have been attempting to contact some of Alex's friends at the college and have not had much luck. If you remember the people w/the truck and trailer for a float in the homecoming parade a few years ago - please contact me!
Sounds like a great program. Good luck.
