If you enjoy working with others to host a community event, or if you are an artist or a musician that wants to get involved...we need you! Resilient Point Roberts Going Solar would like to invite any member of our community to join us this Tuesday night to help us plan a week of fun, educational and creative events to help raise awareness about solar energy.

You don't need to know anything about solar to get involved.

Here are some Solar Festival ideas that members have suggested so far...

• a kids SUNdae making competition

• painting a street mural

• hosting "Resilient Community" - a simulation game

• organizing a music festival - with a sun theme

• hosting a workshop on community solar with Puget Sound Electricity

• helping to construct a demonstration project with solar

Do any of those ideas appeal to you? If you have the energy and time to support a week of community activities October 7 to 12, join us Tuesday night July 30th at the Community Centre from 7pm to 8:30pm - refreshments provided. And if you can't make our organizing meeting, but you still want to be involved, please reach out to resilientpointroberts@gmail.com.

Join us or cheer us on at the 4th of July Parade! Wear your favorite sun-themed gear and help us promote Resilient Point Roberts: Going Solar, bringing affordable and accountable solar power to our community.
