Today we had the honor of receiving the Secretary's Award for Excellence in Environmental Education at a ceremony in the Massachusetts State House! It's a great honor, indeed. The awards have been given for 15 years now and Carrick is the first homeschooler in all this time to receive this award, which is a great milestone! Our state representative Jennifer Callahan was on hand to help present the award, and after the ceremony we got a personal tour of the State House from Rep. Callahan which was a lot of fun. During our tour we had a chance to meet Governor Duval Patrick and talk for a few minutes:
Tomorrow (Saturday) is our big fundraiser dinner-concert so please come if you are available! We're holding it at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Grafton Common - spaghetti dinner is from 5:00-7:00pm, and the acoustic concert is from 7:00-9:00pm. This is going to be one incredible concert! We have 3 wonderful performers: singer-songwriter Katrin, another great singer-songwriter Greg Hare coming from New York, and Jubilee Gardens. Greg will be giving his public debut of his new song 'Tin Can' that he wrote about our cross-country eco-video project. Greg sent me along the MP3 of the song and it is just awesome - it's been in heavy play on my IPod for a few weeks now. The suggested donation for the event is $10 for the dinner or $10 for the concert, or $15 for both. A fun night out for food and a great concert to support your favorite cause, for only $15 you say? Yes, come and enjoy!
Be well,
Colin
