footprint and benefit from the resulting savings.  Join us for this introductory program which
will be facilitated by Bonnie Glickman and Jay walter, co-chairs of the Newton EcoTeam
Project.  We have made a three-year commitment to help form 1,000 EcoTeams in Newton
by 2013, as part of the statewide Cool Mass program with 10 other Massachusetts
communities.  Join us at the Newton Free Library for this important step in greening our city!

OurNewton.org Launch Team Meeting

Time: 
Dec 8 2008 - 1:00pm - 2:30pm

Well, our Dec. 1 "soft launch" date had passed.  The "beta" has been dropped from the site and we are ready to start sharing the site more broadly. 
The next Launch Team meeting will be at 1 p.m. this coming Monday, December 8, at the Leventhal-Sidman Jewish Community Center.  Directions can be found here: http://www.lsjcc.org/home/leventhal_abo.html
This will be an important meeting as we will discuss plans on how best to spread the word about the site.  In particular, at this phase we are still especially in need of outreach to organizations to contribute their content to the site.  We've had a few active contributors since the site went live but need to broaden the circle!
If you happen upon this post and haven't yet participated in the planning process, feel free to join us at the meeting if you're interested!
RSVP for the meeting by emailing dcrowley@socialcapitalinc.org.
