Activities:

Our first event in May was a huge success. Many thanks to Dr Mira Franke and Erik Hausker for their Climate Change Debate. Mira was so informative and Erik was very funny.

Program Chair John Beadle is planning several events for the Fall and Winter. One is going to be about Coal and Gas Fired Electric Plants. We are planning a presentation by the Essex County Executive who will discuss his many accomplishments and vision for the future.

Please join us at one of the events and get to know your fellow Sierrans. Look for an occasional email about upcoming events.

Help promote recycling at Recycling New Jersey.
