Reminder: Wellness & Water Concert Tonight, Conference Tomorrow

Please join us tonight and tomorrow, October 3–4, at Village Chapel Presbyterian Church, 3818 Venable Ave., Charleston, WV for Wellness and Water 2014.

Tonight we’ll kick things off with a concert featuring Andrew McKnight and Colleen Anderson & George Castelle. Registration begins at 6 p.m. and the concert runs from 7 – 10 p.m. It will be big fun, plus it will help raise money for conference scholarships. There's still time to spread the word via social media here.

Saturday's program will focus on the threats to our water from chemical manufacturing & storage, mountaintop removal coal mining, and Marcellus Shale drilling, and explore measures we can take to safeguard our wellness and water with panels featuring scientists and affected residents, informational tables, open-space discussions and our featured speakers — Dr. Rahul Gupta and two Goldman Environmental Prize winners, Helen Slottje and Maria Gunnoe. See more details here.

For those who can't make it to Charleston, there will be a live stream of tomorrow's conference, (and possibly the concert and/or interviews with participants & conference organizers tonight).  You can tune in to Wellness & Water activities here or here.  However, if at all possible, we hope you will join us in person for the concert and/or conference.

We look forward to seeing you there! If you're unable to join us, please consider making a contribution here to help us cover scholarships and other costs associated with the event. Thanks!
