Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.

Day 131: Energy Committee
Once again I was asked to review an energy saving retrofit proposal, this time for Pine Hill School, the town's largest building and user of electricity. I met with fellow Energy Committee members at 7:00 AM at the school to review the needs and realities. We only have a few weeks before we decide to move forward with the projects. As I stated before, the contractors benefit from making their proposals a bit vague, and it is not always easy to understand exactly what work is included in their proposal. I was able to work with other committee members and help identify what items would be modified, and what they would be changed to. With this information, the committee can make some useful changes, and make sure the work is consistent with how the school actually operates. I believe we will move forward and authorize the work, but it feels good to know I helped guide the project to be most beneficial for the town.
