Muralist, environmentalist, humanist Jenn Houle will lead us in activities that will help us express what we want for our communities, whether environmentally, through diversity, economic equity, etc. Jenn will be using exercises from The Earth Charter Vision. www.earthcharter.org. This first evening will be a gathering of members from all surrounding communities for dialogue and activities. Refreshments will be served. In March, Jenn will return with our sketched-out mural for painting by the Community. In April we will display the mural and then travel it! ALL AGES! Register at www.thepegcenter.org.
