THE DAY THAT WAS..ST JOES COLLEGE OF MAINE, THE MONKS, MY ALMA MATER, COMING AGAIN TO BUILD THEIR TEAM, NO NOT BASKETBALL, BUT HABITAT BUILDING TEAM..VERY PROUD AS THEY RETURN EVERY YEAR...YESTERDAY I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SIT WITH TWO A TEAM MEMBERS AT THE END OF THE DAY TO DISCUSS WHERE WE WOULD MOVE AHEAD WITH OUR TEENAGERS FOR THE FUTURE, HOW THEY WOULD HELP, WHAT TYPE OF WORLD WE ARE CREATING, JONATHAN AND BEN, FROM BLINDBROOK AND FIELDSTONE RULE IN TERMS OR ENERGY AND COMMITMENT...THEN CHRIS CALLS FROM WASHINGTON DC..I AM GETTING ON A TRAIN, WILL YOU BE IN NEW YORK...CHRIS CHAIR OF THE ALUMNI A TEAM, GRADUATED FROM RYE NECK, BC AND NOW NOTRE DAME LAW SCHOOL...HAVING WORKED FOR CARVILLE AND A STATE SENATOR, HE CONTINUES TO CARE ABOUT HABITAT AND OUR WORLD...AS SO MANY A TEAM ALUMNI NOW ARE IN POSITIONS TO MAKE EVEN A GREATER DIFFERENCE..THANKS CHRIS..
VOLUNTEERS ON OUR SITE TODAY, AND MEETINGS WITH MAYORS, A CITY COUNCILLOR AND AN ENERGY CONSULTANT OVER OUR GREEN TEAM INTIATIVES...GETTING BUSINESSES TOGETHER REGULARLY AND NEIGHBORS TO MAKE IT A GREEN DOWNTOWN...YESTERDAY I SPKE ON THE PHONE WITH A FORMER SEC. OF STATE WHO STATED, WE ARE TOTALLY ON TRACK...WE NEED TO TIE AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTION, SO PEOPLE ARENT SPENDING MORE ON TRANSPORTATION THAN HOUSING..AS OIL HAS GONE OVER 104 DOLARS A BARREL..I REMEMBER STUDYING AT ST. JOSEPHS COLLEGE. SOLAR ENERGY AND BELIEVING THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE..YET YEARS LATER WE ARE STILL STRAPPED BY THIS ENERGY CRISIS...BILL O REILLEY STATED IN A CONVERSATION TO A FORMER HOUSE LEADER, WHY DIDNT THEY EVER ALTERNATE..WHY DIDNT THEY EVER CHANGE...NO GOOD ANSWER WAS GIVEN ONLY THAT OIL WAS MUCH LOWER BACK IN THE DAY..
LETS MAKE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE INCLUSIVE, LONG TERM IN PLANNING AND WISE IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY....STAY TUNED, EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING...JOIN US, MAKE A DONATION TODAY, LIVES AND COMMUNITIES DEPEND UPON IT...LAST HATS OFF THE THE DORSEYS, FINALLY MOVING IN AFTER YEARS OF BEING BLOCKED, INTO A BEAUTIFUL HABITAT HOME...GOD BLESS YOU. AND ALL, JJK
