Carbon Nation Movie in the Park Tonight
| |
Come see the locally produced movie, Carbon Nation, at Lake Shore Park tonight. An interesting pre-movie program to include co-producers Craig Sieben and Karen Wiegert will begin at 8:30 pm with screening of the hour-and-a-half movie at about 9:00 pm. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and a picnic if you like and join us for this exciting event.
Beginning at 7:30 pm popcorn will be served and representatives from First American Bank, All Cell & Chicago Electric Bikes, Chicago B-Cycle, I-Go Cars, and Tesla All-Electric Sports Car will be on-site to answer questions and provide demonstrations. Come early, learn more about these environmentally-friendly alternatives, and enjoy conversation with other SOAR members and Streeterville neighbors.
**This event will take place tonight rain or shine. Some portions may be moved inside the Lake Shore Park Field House if there is inclement weather** SOAR is proud to partner with First American Bank in presenting Carbon Nation, a documentary movie about climate change solutions.

SOAR's Response to Recent Criminal Activity in Streeterville
Residents of Streeterville have long enjoyed a relatively safe neighborhood, and the recent strong-arm robberies should not be characterized in a sensationalized manner to suggest that it is now dangerous to walk the streets of our neighborhood, to shop on Michigan Avenue, or visit Navy Pier and nearby beaches.
