Who prints the dump tickets? Is there room enough on the back for a short list of recycling guidelines?

We now have appearance of progress: There are two brand new dishtowels on hooks (all Welch's finest) at the end of the counter in the Parish House kitchen, to the left of the sink. Let the word go forth.

Upcoming event, Sunday, December 20
From the Upper Valley Food Coop (White River Junction) newsletter:
""Turn out a light, switch on a star"
Upper Valley Co-op Sponsors an Upper Valley Solstice "Power Down" Lights-Out Dec. 20
From 8-9 pm on Sunday, December 20, towns, businesses and individuals can join the Upper Valley Co-op and Transition Town WRJ in a symbolic “lights out.” The event, which will take place on the eve of the winter solstice, is intended to raise awareness about powering-down for the future in a positive and transformative way. Unlike many awareness-raising events, this one requires no fossil-fuel-emitting travel or any other expenditure of resources. Traveling a short distance to gather with friends is definitely optional. Otherwise, simply tun off electrical appliances, switch off the lights, and enjoy the peace of firelight, candle light or starlight. This event honors the longest night, and honors our planet’s need to take a rest from the excessive energy demands of humans. Most importantly, it provides the opportunity for a truly transformative experience. It’s our hope that people will in fact be so transformed, and have so much fun, that they will decide to have their own ‘lights out’ nights on a regular basis. So grab your friends, firewood, candles and marshmallows. Dig out your musical instruments. Brush up on your favorite campfire stories and on the rules for Hide n’ Seek and other games in the dark.. Get out your star guides and telescope. Plan a route for a moonlight walk....”
