SUMMARY:Free LED Program Volunteer Training
DESCRIPTION:You may have heard that we have some very exciting news for 2017 –we have our expanded our free LED light bulb installation program to serve Redmond and Tumalo! \nWe have already reached 2\,400 homes in Bend and our goal is to reach another 600 homes in the next 6 months. To put that in perspective\, that would help save another ~$60\,000 annually in energy costs. To reach 600 homes\, we need 600 people to sign up for LEDs. That’s A LOT of people. Right now\, our biggest obstacle is getting the word out and getting people to sign up. If our costs get too high to market this program\, we may not be able to sustain it. \nThis is where YOU can play a vital role in helping people save energy—letting them know that this amazing opportunity exists.  \nIf you are interesting helping out\, we will be hosting a volunteer training to help you get more familiar with the LED program. If you plan on coming\, or are interested in volunteering and can’t make the training\, please email Neil(at)envirocenter.org or calling 541-385-6908 x26.  \nHanging Posters\nWe need volunteers to help hang posters in Redmond\, Tumalo\, and Bend. Posters can be picked up at The Environmental Center or dropped off to you in Redmond. \nTabling at Local Businesses\nA great way to reach people is meeting them where they already go. We have had great success set up informational tables with sign up sheets at grocery stores and coffee shops. You can set the times that you are interested in tabling! We will provide all the materials you need.  If you have a business that you think might be interested\, you can set up a table there\, or choose from businesses that we have already set up relationships with. \nKnocking on Doors\nWe have also had great success with canvassing neighborhoods and talking directly to people at their homes. Some people won’t want to talk to you and some will be over the moon that you just told them that can save $100 a year on utility bills and that you will help them do it for free.

SUMMARY:Bend Solidarity March
DESCRIPTION:In solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington\, and similar actions occurring throughout the nation\, the Juniper Group of the Sierra Club will join a coalition of local groups and individuals to encourage your participation in the BEND SOLIDARITY MARCH on January 21. \n“This family-friendly event will highlight the power of  intersectional communities in resistance against hate\, fear and oppression in all its forms. The recent election indisputably shows us that everything we value is under assault. \nWe cannot stay silent\, and we will not stay seated. We will stand up with one voice about all progressive issues. We are feminists\, we are people of color\, we are planet protectors\, we are LGBTQI\, we are allies\, we are seniors\, we are teachers and healers\, mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters. We are everyone and we  are strong.” \nDETAILS: Assemble at Drake Park at 11 AM. \nAfter a short rally\, we will orderly march on the sidewalks via a designated route through downtown Bend\, ending at Riverfront Park (Crow’s Feet Commons) off Brooks Alley behind the Tower Theater. \nAt the Commons we will listen to a few short speakers\, be entertained by music\, and will also have an “open mic” format through which groups or individuals may briefly express VALUES  and actions we may consider to defend those values. \nAdditional information about the Bend Solidarity March can also be found at the WOMEN’S MARCH BEND Facebook Page.
