"We are a group of kids that educate other kids about the science of global warming and empower them to take action. Through educational presentations, community activism projects, multi-media, and leadership training, we empower youth to use their voice, and remind kids that WE MATTER! and there really is something we can do about global warming."
15-year-old Al Gore protégé Alec Loorz of Ventura, Calif. will speak on "What Kids Can Do About Global Warming."
His talk will be preceded by a free pizza lunch in the Gallery for those 18 and younger. Those over 18 are invited to go to the UU Cafe; adults have a suggested donation of $5 for the Forum talk If you are planning to join us for the free pizza lunch, please call ext. 115 to reserve.

Family Promise of Nassau County is an inter-congregational effort to bring people of faith together to provide homeless families with HELP for today and HOPE for tomorrow! Host congregations covenant to provide shelter, meals and support to families without homes. Family Promise serves families with children without regard to race, religion or age. Families may stay in the network 45 – 90 days providing they are adhering to guest guidelines and making progress in their own efforts toward self-sufficiency.
At UUCSR, we will welcome guests daily from 5 pm to 6:30 am Sunday, March 28 through Sunday, April 4. Volunteers are needed to prepare meals, welcome guests, provide hospitality, and stay overnight with the guests.
