The CCC is available to bring its resource table (with free pledge rewards like CCC bumper stickers & canvas bags) to festivals, fairs and other venues across New England. We also offer public presentations (some with guest speakers) on a variety of topics. All presentation events include our resource table (except for presentations to school audiences) and we do not charge a fee for any of our events. Other past CCC events have included appearances at press conferences & a radio show, legislative testimony, kids’ activities, a community “lights out” party & check presentation events (at which the CCC presented other environmental groups with monetary donations). |
