The goal of the Expo is to help our neighbors save money on their utility bills by making their home more efficient. There will be demonstrations and speakers supporting that purpose. But we need help to get the word out about this event. We also plan to have available information about Transition and climate change. This event is free to everyone, and we’re hoping for a large turn-out.
Your help publicizing the Expo is greatly appreciated, and we hope you will join us on November 6th.
