Each year, we make note of new<br>efforts in three areas: new sustainable enterprises, new organizations<br>devoted to some aspect of sustainability, and new sustainability programs or<br>projects by established organizations. This year we noted over 130 Signs of<br>Sustainability!<br><br>We are holding a special reception to announce and honor all our "Signs of<br>Sustainability" at the Womens' Community Building from 4-6:30PM on Sunday,<br>December 6th. We?ll begin with refreshments and time for networking from<br>4-5 pm, then sit down together to hear about the wide array of achievements<br>in the sustainability arena of the past year.
