SOLAR POOL AND HOT WATER HEATING
with Donna Napolitano
$10 minimum donation requested
Solar hot water heaters use the sun to heat either water or a heat-transfer fluid in collectors. A typical system can reduce the need for conventional water-heating by about 2/3rds. This seminar will explore solar hot water systems as well as solar pool heating systems which are not only better for the environment but can also extend the length of the swimming season.
Donna Napolitano has been involved in the Solar Industry since 1982. She is co-owner of Mechanical Energy Systems, Inc., located in Canton. MES specializes in thermal solar applications including solar water heating, solar air heating and solar pool heating systems.

The Dances of Universal Peace are a pathway to open our hearts into joy, love, and compassion, creating community through music and movement. Founded in the late 1960's by the American Sufi, Samuel L. Lewis, the Dances of Universal Peace have become an international phenomenon. Dances reflect spiritual traditions from around the globe. No experience is necessary as we all learn together. Loose, comfortable clothing recommended. Call Cliff at 248-410-1762 for more information.
Certified Dance Leader Robin Mallor has 17 years' experience facilitating these spiritually uplifting dances in varied settings.
Saturday, July 19th, 2pm–8pm
PINE RIDGE RESERVATION BENEFIT
with the Stone Peoples Lodge *
Cash, Clothing and Other Donations Appreciated
The EAC is pleased to host a benefit event to support the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. From these Lakota reservations come the traditions and spiritual ways that inspire many of us. Every year, members of the local community go to Pine Ridge to be a part of the sun dancing ceremony. This year, we are hosting a community pot-luck and drum circle to send prayers and support to the sun dancers and the reservations– so bring a healthy dish (preferably vegetarian) to pass, and something to make music with! We are asking for donations in the form of cash, clothing, tools, small appliances, and other necessities for the reservation. For more information, please email lodgecouncil@gmail.com.
