The invitation in my inbox was for Council Woman Tameika Isaac Devine's Holiday Drop-In and imagine my surprise when it went on to say that they would be collecting toiletry items for the Family Shelter. Now, this is my 3rd year on the Board of the Family Shelter, and this was news to me. And to my fellow Board Members. Mysterious!
The Keenan House is so beautiful - it was a pleasure to finally go inside. Tameika was very much the gracious hostess, talking one-on-one with everyone. Including me. Mystery solved - our new Executive Director had met her last week and she had decided to get up a collection for the Family Shelter.
I met Fire Chief Bradley Anderson! He's sold on Green Buildings and wished his office could go green. How about going solar, I asked? Of course, I can get on to that soap box in a jiffy. So we talked solar - 2 new fire stations are being built in Columbia - could they budget solar thermal in? Solar thermal is what you need for your hot water heater and is much less expensive than solar PV (photo voltaic that actually converts light to electricity). I've promised to get some figures to him.
Lots of interesting people! Lots of food which I tried not to look in the face - I'm still following the Flat Belly Diet.
More when I get pictures.
