The Life Lab coordinators will meet on Tuesday, November 10th at 6:30 PM
in Room 4 at the school. This is our regular meeting to share ideas,
successes, needs, and upcoming group activities. Anyone interested in
the Life Lab is welcome to attend.
So far the agenda includes: Life Lab sponsored Hot Lunch (Jan 21,
2010), the Ocean Guardian grant application (due Feb 1, 2010), the
irrigation project, and the Banana Slug concert* (see below). If you have items you would like to discuss, please reply so that we can make time for them at the meeting. Laura has promised to make cookies.
*Two members of the Banana Slug String Band will be giving a lively 45 minute eco-concert at Holy Cross on Wednesday, November 18th at 10:30 am
in the gym. They will be singing about recycling, composting, etc. but
we can request they hit upon other themes - such as the Life Lab. We
can discuss our request list at the meeting.
Thanks, Chris
