The Green Sanctuary Task Force encourages all of us to examine our habits of consumption. What do we buy? Where does it come from? What happens to it when we're finished with it? What impact does our consumption have on the earth and its inhabitants? This fall's Swap will be held on tomorrow, October 31 from 10 am until noon with drop off starting at 9:30 am. For more information, please contact Stephanie Kimball ([email protected]).

Celtic New Year Celebration
