Milwaukee Environmental Collaboration Office - ECO

One year, three solar projects with Milwaukee Public Library at Center Street, Central Library, and Tippecanoe. Thanks Eagle Point Solar for installing these.

In an effort to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee has canceled all events through the end of March, 2020. We do this proactively out of love for both you and our community.

https://mailchi.mp/7c83a7cd85b3/interfaith-earth-network-newsletter-march-16-2020

[03/12/20]   Dear Interfaith Conference Tuesdays-in-March Registrants,

To help protect your health amid the rapidly changing coronavirus threat, we have postponed the remainder of our Tuesday luncheon lecture series on March 17, 24 and 31. We will reschedule those sessions for later this year once the scope and duration of this health crisis are known.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time, and we pray that you and your loved ones will remain safe.

The Interfaith Conference and its Peace & International Issues Committee have taken this action in consultation with the leadership of the First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, where these multi-faith luncheons are held. First U is taking a variety of measures of its own that will impact use of their building for Sunday services and for other activities/events.

We are emailing and telephoning every luncheon registrant, based upon the contact information they provided. Please help us spread the word to friends and associates who have registered or whom you know to have been considering attending any of these luncheons.

We will keep you updated. If you have questions, please contact the Interfaith Conference at:
[email protected] or 414-276-9050.
