Poplar Ridge Talk February 2015

The following announcement is for a talk given in February 2015.  The audio for that talk can be found here:  Poplar Ridge Talk

Hello!
You are invited to a talk I’m giving in Poplar Ridge, NY this Sunday the 8th of February.  If you’re in central New York, this is a great opportunity to hear more about the work!  The Talk is about how my conscience led me to Water Filters.  Quakers in Poplar Ridge have invited me to give their monthly after meeting talk that they call Soup and Sharing.  This is a very special invitation, because I grew up in Poplar Ridge Meeting.  My family attended the meeting for a number of years before we moved to Alfred when I was 10 years old.  The Poplar Ridge Meeting has invited anyone who would like to come to the Worship, or just come for the Soup and the talk!

When:  Sunday February 8th

10:00-11:00AM     -Meeting for Worship

11:30                    -Soup lunch

~12:00ish             -The talk will be directly after people are done with the soup!

Where: Poplar Ridge Friends Meeting
1868 Poplar Ridge Road
Poplar Ridge, NY 13139

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Fundraising Goal Reached!

Congratulations!  We did it!

With your help we more than met the fundraising goal I had set at $10k!  We actually raised $11 052, all of which we will put to good use.  We’re already putting it to good use, for example we used a significant chunk of the money to pay for research at Alfred University.  The equipment with me in the picture is a Scanning Electron Microscope, or S.E.M. as we call it.  That machine can look at incredibly tiny things, and it costs around $900 000 to buy one.  This machine is informing the water filters.  This incredibly powerful tool and many others are available thanks to you.

You all deserve a pat on the back.

Give yourself one now as you get up from reading this email.IMG_0939
