In this virtual program, our guest speaker will inform us about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) signed into law in 2022. The IRA program is designed to save American households money while reducing climate change and air pollution. It contains cost-saving incentives for adding energy upgrades in your home such as, heat pumps, efficient air conditioners, insulation, windows, and doors, as well as solar electricity generation, solar water heating, and battery storage, among other technologies. We will discuss tax credits, rebates, and grant/loan programs available to individuals now through 2032. As always, we will provide our audience with a Toolkit of resources on this topic. Please Register to attend this program and learn how you can lower your utility bills, while you help care for Mother Earth!

The featured focus is writing in community over a period of several weeks. While some writing technique is taught in each class, emphasis is placed on writer’s pursuing their own forms of written expression (e.g., poetry, memoir, fiction, non-fiction or journaling). Writers are in charge of their writing. They request from small group members the type of feedback they want, based on their motivation and intentions. The proven process used creates a safe space for individuals to develop their own voice and offers opportunities to have their words heard and honored without judgment.

Co-Sponsors:
OCPJ, QTFSA, Wesley, PFLAG, Holy Trinity, QVS, Hillel, & Oxford Friends.

Featuring P.H. Dee, SOS Art, the Cincinnati Men’s Chorus, and Interfaith Photovoice!
