ReplyDeleteSBHC Student Advisory Board Meeting Minutes
ReplyDeleteDate: 1/13/10
Liz Derecktor shared her new blog regarding her Living Arts Partnership project: lapp.bbay (on blogger.com). She has a wonderful vision for connecting community members and schools with the coastal botanical gardens and the land trust to create sustainable eco-tourism destinations and beautification projects for downtown. She hopes to connect the wind-power resources as well. Students from our school are competing in the University of Maine at Orno for blade designs. Boothbay Harbor is one of the test sites for Orno’s multi-million dollar research and design project. Let’s get connected with them!
The advisory board meeting at 9am was the second of a myriad of amazing things that happened today for the LAPP Vision. The stars must have been in total alignment for this particular project, for this particular community (and the world) at this time. It is so incredibly fun and exciting to be part of the birthing of something truly beautiful, cooperative, unifying, fun, earth friendly, economically beneficial, educational and on it goes!
ReplyDeleteOk, so the day began like this:
I dropped off Tom at school then had time before the Health Advisory Board meeting and went to Mama D's for a delicious breakfast with organic coffee and organic everything and proceeded to have a discussion with the owners about the cost of organic food and how high it remains and how brilliant it would be to be able to have the Community Garden supply food to the local restaurants for a good price as well as greens from the BRHS greenhouse during the winter months. They love the idea. They also loved the idea of Eco-Tourism for the region and the beautification of the "Gateway" to Boothbay Harbor as a way of enticing many of the 75,000 visitors to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens into the harbor rather than having them see the Boothbay downtown strip and not realize that beyond it is such beauty and many of our businesses who rely on summer income.
I am going to have to write about this day in segments as each one is quite long so I am going to post this now and come back in a bit!
So stay Tuned!
