Rainbow River Action Alert


Join retired environmental engineer Philip Smith as he introduces us to a new tool in the battle against climate change - online simulator En-ROADS

En‑ROADS allows users to explore the impact that dozens of policies—such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices—have on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise. This will be an interactive presentation where audience members have the opportunity to visualize and discuss how these and other popular approaches to combating climate change, such as planting trees and reducing fossil fuels, impact the course of global warming through the year 2100.

Come gain a more concrete understanding of where efforts are working and where they are falling short as we look to ensure a healthy environmental future for our planet.

Community Closet Resupply



If you’re looking for an opportunity to help kids in the Verona community, that doesn’t require much time or money, we have just the thing! SR houses a Community Closet of warm clothing and supplies, available to children in need, through VASD Social Workers. As we get closer to Spring (yes it’s coming!), winter snow pants, boots, and coats will be on clearance. So if you’re out running errands and see any, we’d love to get our donations started for next Winter! Donations may be left in the labeled basket inside the SR doors. In addition, we are always accepting small denomination gift cards ($10-15) to Walmart, Target, Woodman’s, KwikTrip. Contact Pam Millmann with questions at millmann4@tds.net Thank you for caring for “our kids”!
