Our climate in New Hampshire is moving northward 30 feet a day (2 miles a year) due to human activities, mainly the burning of fossil fuels around the globe. Fundamental chemical and physical properties that local plants, animals, and infrastructure rely on are changing in ways that we can not undo. As the Biden Administration considers policy options to address climate change, considerations of effectiveness, equity, political viability, and global reach are of primary concern.
After, we will discuss the August social, the Windham Audit, etc...

CANDLELIGHT VIGIL - STANDING TOGETHER: JANUARY 20, 2021

On inauguration day evening a candlelight vigil, “Standing Together,” was held on the Windham town common. We stood together for love of country, for the values that we hold most dear, and for our commitment to listen and work with each other for the common good. Hosted by the Windham Democratic Town Committee, all citizens of our community were welcome and the parking lot was filled with overflow parking at the church. The event featured a song sung by Grace & Kristi St. Laurent, a message from Pastor John Seiders of the Presbyterian Church and a call and response led by Ellen McCahon to indicate a renewed commitment to work together respectfully to solve common problems.

The vigil was held drive-in style and broadcast via FM transmitter due to COVID precautions. Participants tuned in from their cars. The vigil ended with a collection of the LED candles in each car in order to place them on the Common as a sign of the renewed commitment to Stand Together With and For Integrity into the future!

Many thanks to the volunteers who helped put the event together. The estimated participation was approximately 50 people including public and volunteers.
