Four Points has given us a new luncheon option of salad of the day if you would prefer.  You MUST indicate that under the Comments section of the sign-up.  It is the same luncheon cost of $22.00.

Lunch will be $22 for a sit down meal served at 12:15. We must notify Four Points by Wednesday at 4:00 pm each week prior to the Monday meeting as to the number of members attending.  We are sending out meeting “Invite's” weekly and members are asked to sign-up ASAP. You can also sign-up by going to the event section of our website at bellinghamrotary.org.  If you sign up for a meal at the meeting, you will need to pay the $22 even if you don't wind up attending the meeting after numbers are turned in.  If you plan to attend but not eat, PLEASE indicate that on your sign-up under comments so we don't overorder meals and still make sure there is enough seating. ALSO IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL MEAL NEEDS PLEASE INDICATE, THEY WANT TO ACCOMODATE!

Chris Elder has been working for Whatcom County for 8 years supporting planning for County priority areas including agriculture, watersheds, wildlife, and climate change.  He has served as the staff support for the Climate Impact Advisory Committee since inception in 2017 and is excited to see the final plan developed by the committee presented to and hopefully adopted by Whatcom County Council this fall.  

This presentation will provide an overview of the Climate Action Plan developed by the committee, including an overview of the greenhouse gas emissions inventory, climate science summary, and a discussion of how Whatcom County will begin implementation of the recommended strategies and actions identified in the plan.
