Personal stories on climate-efficient homes

At a MetroWest Climate Solutions panel discussion via Zoom on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m., three local residents will share their personal experiences on creating more climate-efficient homes efforts that extend well beyond adding basic insulation and programmable thermostats. Speakers include Bill Churchill of Lincoln, Sarah Maas Scheuplein of Weston, and Roger Wiegand of Wayland. Register at tinyurl.com/Retrofit2021.

MetroWest Climate Solutions is a growing partnership between First Parish in Wayland, First Parish Church in Weston, First Parish in Lincoln, the Congregational Church of Weston, Sustainable Weston Action Group, and other communities and individuals. Our mission is to share strategies for moving towards a low- and no-carbon-based society and economy and to suggest activities that enable individuals to help bring about solutions.

Members sought for ice rink subcommittee

The Parks and Rec Department is looking for volunteers to join the ice Rink Subcommittee to get its operating and maintain the ice. The rink this year will be a bit bigger than last year (40’ x 80’ instead of 30’ x 60’) and it will be in front of Pierce House instead of behind Town Hall. Parks and Rec aims to fill the rink in mid-December and expect the ice to stay frozen through mid-March. More details, including ice rules, will be coming out closer to our expected opening date. Please contact Rob Stringer at urbanvineyard@comcast.net if you want to learn more about being a part of the rink subcommittee. We’ll have our first meeting before the end of November.

The exhibition opens at both museums on April 8, 2022 and will be on view through September 11, 2022. Click here for more information and a list of the 25 artists who will be represented.
