Green Energy Forum is Monday night
The Green Energy Forum originally scheduled for March 14 will take place on Monday, March 19 at 7:30 p.m. in Hartwell Pod B. Sponsors of the two plastic bottle Town Meeting warrant articles will be on hand to provide information and answer questions, as will supporters of the “Community Choice Aggregation” measure for electric power purchasing, and the “Protecting Consumers of Gas and Electricity from Paying for Leaked & Unaccounted-for Gas” measure sponsored by Mothers Out Front. Other groups will be on hand to provide information about energy efficiency programs and initiatives in town, including the new HeatSmart Program for discounts on home heating systems.
Meet L-S School Committee candidates
There are still two opportunities to meet and chat with Lincoln-Sudbury Regional District Committee candidates Carole Kasper of Lincoln and Ellen Joachim, a write-in candidate from Sudbury:
- Tuesday, March 20 from 7–8:30 p.m. in the Hartwell multipurpose room on the Lincoln School
- Wednesday, March 21 from 9:30–11:00 a.m. at the home of Sabra Alden (6 Brooks Hill Rd.).
Light refreshments will be served. If you’re planning to come to Sabra’s house on March 21, please email mhylton@bu.edu so organizers can obtain an accurate headcount.
LEAP to provide child care during Town Meeting
LEAP has offered to provide childcare to the community on Saturday, March 24 from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. so parents can attend Town Meeting. The discussions of the school and community center projects will probably be either just before or just after lunch, so the LEAP coverage should enable attending these updates.
The cost per child is $10 and children must be at least kindergarten age. Those interested must fill out this Google form with your child’s name, age, parent contact and any allergies. Anyone with questions may email Katie Hawkins at leap0615@gmail.com.
Get absentee ballots by Friday
Residents may obtain and cast absentee ballots for the March 26 town election at the Town Clerk’s office through Friday, March 23. Under state law, the office cannot allow anyone to deliver a physical ballot to a voter, although a family member may apply for an absentee ballot to be mailed to another family member.

Girl Scouts bake sale
The Lincoln Girl Scouts are hosting a bake sale at Town Meeting on Saturday from 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. They will be selling a variety of delicious home-made baked goods and coffee, as well as Girl Scout Cookies (both boxes at $5 each as well as a la carte cookies) for those who may have missed out earlier in the year. All proceeds will support the third-grade troop’s service project which includes a donation to Buddy Dog Humane Society in Sudbury.
