Tuesday, April 21 A free concert by the band Here's to the Long Haul, an Appalachian string band/teaching team cofounded by Willie Dodson and Joe Overton and backed by guest musicians and activists. Their traditional arrangements celebrate the culture and life of the mountains while their original songs tell stories of everyday people living everyday lives and trying to stand up for what's right. After their set, they will give a workshop about mountaintop removal. Wednesday, April 22 (Earth Day) In honor of Earth Day there will be a screening of the BBC version of the groundbreaking experience of the Planet Earth series in Emerson Suites. Thursday, April 23 Come to the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Fair, where actual owners of CSA will be present to answer questions and provide material on how to join one and receive fresh vegetables in season directly from the farm. Experience the benefits of local healthy food firsthand. 7:30-9:30 Come to the Vegetarian Teach-In to experience some great and healthy food and informational discussion by members of the famous Moosewood restaurant, located near the Commons, and from the Farm Sanctuary, an animal rehabilitation center located in Watkins Glen. Friday, April 24 Join us for a screening of A Drop of Life with filmmaker Shalini Kantayya. Set in the near future, A Drop of Life is the story of two women -- a village teacher in rural India and an African American corporate executive -- whose disparate lives intersect when they are both confronted with lack of access to clean drinking water. Combining biting social commentary with a dash of commercial appeal, Shalini's films aim to make social change irresistible. If we don't see you there, peace and plant trees |
