Quincy Environmental Network: Event List

When: Sunday 14 March 2010 - 10:00 Ends Sunday 14 March 2010 - 12:30

The Quincy Environmental Network is partnering with Home Depot and HEETMA (Home Energy Efficiency Team of Cambridge) to introduce monthly Weatherization Barn-Raising Parties in Quincy! Weatherization Parties are like an old-fashioned barn-raising, where neighbors get together to tackle a big project like building a barn. But instead of one big project, QEN volunteers are taught how to complete many low-cost energy efficiency projects around the house. These simple, yet effective, home weatherization tasks have proven to save up to 40% on electric, water, and heating bills each year. We’ve selected our first home to audit and weatherize! Come join us on Sunday, March 14th, 10am-12:30pm at “Karen & Mike’s”, 55 The Strand in Quincy, and learn how to perform a Home Energy Audit. If you can’t make the home audit, sign up to learn – hands-on – what it takes to weatherize your home. Then take these skills back to your own home! Come help to Weatherize Karen & Mike’s home on April 18th, 12:30-4:30pm. We’ll wrap up the day with pizza and music to celebrate our success. Save Money, Save Energy, Save the Planet - Start with Quincy! Contact Patti (pkeville@gmail.com) to sign up. Volunteering requires no previous skills, just a few hours on a Sunday, and the desire to help conserve energy. Training will be given at each event, and pizza and music will be provided at the end of the weatherization day’s work.
