EcoWiki Community,

We are finishing up the 3rd week of Social Sustainability Month, so check out the calendar below for a variety of unique events through the rest of November. If you have been attending, you've surely learned about some new ideas and perspectives. I want to extend a reason for the bulletin not going out yesterday: my brother tied the knot! The festivities last longer than we had expected. It was a great day. I had most of the bulletin prepared, so I just added some last minute touches and are excited to send out this week's edition.

Have a great week, and a great break next week!
