A Note from Noah
|
|
Thank
you for joining our first week of programming! We had a great turnout,
and we loved hearing more about what you've been up to the past few
weeks.
On a personal note, I'm featured on My Green Montgomery's website with a
"Partners in Energy" profile. If you'd like to read more, use this link.
I would like to echo what Shivali said last week: please reach out to us
via email (mocoinfo@seniorplanet.org)
with any program suggestions. Are you an expert at a particular task or
idea? Share your knowledge with fellow participants and volunteer to lead
a program! We look forward to hearing from you.
Have a great weekend!
