Editor’s Note 9/14: Bus is now full.
A committed Old Saybrook couple, Dave and Mariette Brown, have teamed up with the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme to arrange for a bus of local residents to go to New York City on Sunday, Sept. 21. The purpose of the trip is to attend, “The world’s largest rally in history to support meaningful action to combat the scourge of climate change,” according to the rally’s sponsors.
The New York City rally will coincide with a meeting of international leaders at the United Nations, focusing on stemming changes in the world’s climate conditions. Over 850 groups from across the country are slated to come to the ‘Big Apple’ for a massive outpouring of support to deal with climate change.
So far, according to the Browns, half of the seats on the rented, 54-passenger bus have been reserved with some 20 seats still available. To reserve a seat on the bus, call 860-388-9194 or e-mail [email protected]
The New York round trip on the chartered bus costs $35. Also, persons who are unable to take the trip to New York, but who wish to buy someone else a bus ticket, should contact the Browns.
Although the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme is co-sponsoring the trip to New York City, the Browns are responsible for handling the sale of the bus tickets.
