Three Events, Three Opportunities to Attend, and A Little More

Three upcoming events need your attention and support.  The local grid depends on nuclear power, but national anti-nuclear groups are bringing their campaigns to our doorsteps.
Remember:  A charge unanswered is a charge believed!  We must stand together against these prophets of gloom, doom and misinformation—your help is needed.
