Thursday, Jan. 31, 6:30-9:15 PM, at the Fidalgo Center, 22nd and I St., Anacortes. As demands for energy escalate in the U.S. and worldwide, it’s time to face the difficult choices that must be made to ensure a sustainable future. “The Energy Problem: Choices for an Uncertain Future” is co-sponsored by the Anacortes American, AAUW - Anacortes Chapter, Madrona Center for the Arts, Kiwanis Noon Club, Soroptimist Int’l of Anacortes, and Skagit Beat the Heat. We invite you to participate in a civil, moderated public discussion centered around three approaches to the energy problem: 1) Reduce our dependence on foreign energy; 2) Get out of the fossil-fuel predicament; 3) Reduce our demand for energy. Kay Haaland of WSU Extension and Debra Lancaster of WSU Learning Center will be the moderators. For more information, call 360-416-7605 or 360-428-4270.
