FFNM virtual luncheon Sept. 12

August 30, 2020

Friends!
How’s it going?!  We have a virtual luncheon to look forward to scheduled for Saturday, September 12.
Our featured speaker is Chief Peter Heald, co-founder and co-chair of the New Mexico chapter of Climate Reality, an international organization whose mission is to engage leaders and citizens to take urgent action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and speed the global shift to renewables.
July 2020 was the warmest month on record. Nine of the ten hottest years on record have occurred since 2000. It’s clear that climate change is  here, it is happening now!  What does it mean for us in NM? Heald will talk about what can be done on a personal, community, regional and global level. Specific climate related issues that face New Mexico as well as problems that all of humanity will face will be discussed.  The presentation will focus on a range of solutions.

Please make your reservations no later than Thursday,  September 10, by calling or texting Berta Wagstaff at 505-710-4448 or emailing her at vets4vets@aol.com.

PLACE:       In the comfort of your home!

DATE:         Saturday, September 12, 2020

TIME:              11:30 am

Your support is very much appreciated!
