You’re needed to greet our guests!

We’ve invited the community to join us this Saturday, April 23 ,9 AM at the Smith Parish Center, for a visual, informative look at environment and border lands with Dan Millis, Coordinator of Sierra Club’s Borderlands Program since 2008. Coffee and conversation start at 9 AM, program at 9:30.

Grace-St. Paul’s is helping promote the event. Calendar releases and e-invites have gone out.

Now we need you! It isn’t just that we are hosts. This will be an excellent program, informative and factual, painlessly educational, with a succinct Power Point and stupendous visuals, and opportunity for discussion and questions.

If you can help by bringing coffee hour treats, or helping set up or serve, or being a greeter, please call or e-mail Ila, You are really, really needed!

Perfect pairing with the Boy Scout car wash / rummage sale. Come check out the “reuse and recycle” items, then pay the Boy Scouts to spiffy up your car while you enjoy coffee and the program.

Border Walls to Border Lands - April 23rd at 9 AM

“From Border Walls to Border Lands: Environmental Impacts of U.S. Border Policy,” an interactive visual presentation by Dan Millis, Sierra Club Borderlands Program coordinator, takes place Saturday, April 23, 9 a.m. at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, 602 N. Wilmot Road (at 5th Street), in the Smith Parish Center. Admission is free.

The activity opens with coffee and other refreshments, informal conversation, and exhibits. Millis’ presentation, which covers international boundaries from San Diego to Brownsville, with a focus on Arizona, begins at 9:30 and will end around 10:30. Planners say to expect surprises as participants rethink how they visualize borders.

Grace-St. Paul’s Green Committee and St. Michael’s Social Action Committee co-sponsor the event one day after Earth Day. They remind of the spiritual responsibility, as acknowledged in an Episcopal Eucharistic prayer, to respect and cherish “this fragile earth, our island home” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 370).
