Green Tip for the Week

Faithful Friend

Exotic pets are often captured from endangered wild populations and imported illegally.  They can be hard to care for and often end up dumped in the wild, wreaking havoc on local ecosystems.  Build a more lasting relationship with a dog or cat from your local animal shelter.

Barnert Book Club
Citizens of London by Lynne Olson
Tuesday, May 12,  8 pm
Enjoy an interesting book and discussion at the home of Laurie Hamilton - All are welcome!
Citizens of London is a fascinating account of how Edward R. Murrow, Averell Harriman and John Gilbert Winant became close friends and members of Winston Churchill's inner circle, and encouraged cooperation between the United States and England at the beginning of WWII.  Without these three, it is doubtful that Britain would have been able to fend off the Nazi  attacks on their country.  (Of course they needed Benedict Cumberbatch too to help break the Nazi code, but that was later).  To RSVP, contact Laurie Hamilton at lhamilton@gmail.com or (201) 337-5743.
