SUMMARY:CANCELED - July Power Hour - Deschutes Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO COVID. You can still sign up and we will send you an update when we have one!  \nWe are excited to share that our energy planning work over the last couple of years has resulted in a new initiative called Deschutes Energy Future! Come to this event and learn about the work we’ve done so far for community-based energy projects\, as well as our plans for launching this initiative. \nWe’ll also be sharing a brand new community energy analysis of Deschutes County. Ever wondered where your energy comes from\, what energy is most used for\, or how much of it is really produced locally? We’ll share new insights on all these questions and more in a first look at our new energy inventory.

SUMMARY:July Green Drinks: Fire and Flood film screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for July Green Drinks for a Sneak-Peek Screening of Fire and Flood: Queer Resilience in the Era of Climate Change. Queer Ecojustice Project and their fiscal host Out For Sustainability are sharing the draft sneak-peek screening of the Fire & Flood Film to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ vulnerability to climate change\, encourage conversations on resilience preparedness\, and to fundraise for the completion of the project. \nThis film tells the story of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the fires in Santa Rosa\, California\, two-near simultaneous climate-related disasters in the fall of 2017\, through the voices of LGBTQ people who lived through them and were part of the community response. \nYou can expect a powerful and engaging 104-min storyline full of brilliant\, insightful interviews with over 20 queer and trans people recounting their stories of disaster and resilience. \nWe will be offering two screenings. One with alternating English-Spanish captions for bilingual audiences\, and one with English-only captions for the hearing impaired (provided by the Scottish Queer International Film Festival). \nThis draft film is not yet rated. It contains some complex themes\, discussion of potentially triggering incidents\, and infrequent mature language. It is recommended for adult audiences or for young adult audiences who have access to adult mentors for discussion and processing. Watch the Trailer. \nTEC will collect voluntary donations for this event\, and are providing a sliding scale that will not turn people away for lack of funds. We hope you can join us! \n\n\n\n\nGet tickets here!

SUMMARY:Birders' Night
DESCRIPTION:Abbot Schindler\, Bird Photography  \n\n\nBird photography is one of Abbott Schindler’s many interests in the natural world\, and he has been photographing nature for many years. In this century he’s worked to get “close and personal” to birds in particular (they’re generally safer than bison\, moose\, bear and elk\, which he’s also gotten uncomfortably close to). His photographic work and equipment take advantage of his extensive R&D experience\, studies of photographic technique and composition\, and classroom experiences. His work has been published in scientific and industry journals and fine art books\, and is used extensively by the High Desert Museum. \n\nSocial gathering time is from 6:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Programs begin at 7:00 p.m. and usually last until 8:30 p.m. \nFree and open to the public. You do not need to be a member of any group to attend.
