Join us for an informative evening at Caledonia Brewing in Dunedin on Tuesday, January 21 at 7 pm. We will be INSIDE in the Flag Room at Caledonia on Tuesday to dodge the potential incoming weather.

Enjoy brews and friends, while learning about our group's priorities and projects.

This month, we will be joined by Natalie Gass, Sustainability Program Manager, and Savannah Bunch, Environmental Specialist for the City of Dunedin. Natalie and Savannah will share an update on how Dunedin is tracking towards the city's sustainability & resilience goals, along with some of the exciting projects they are working on!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: POINT IN TIME COUNT, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30

Getting accurate information on those who are homeless is key to defining the services needed to help those who are homeless and to prevent homelessness. You need to set up an online account, then click on the small “follow” button to fill out the online volunteer signup form.

This is especially important as the number of homeless people has increased dramatically. For our local area, it is important to find out if back to back hurricanes increased the homeless population and where funds available are needed.
