Friday, March 14, 10:30 a.m.–12 p.m. U.S. Central Time
Join Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) and a panel of solar experts as we honor the power of the sun and its incredible contribution to a sustainable future! St. Francis of Assisi's The Canticle of the Creatures honors the Sun that gives us light. Let's learn more about this powerful resource together. This morning will include talks with experts about solar energy’s role in combating climate change, a reading of the The Canticle of the Creatures in honor of its 800th anniversary, sun-inspired refreshments and the chance to connect with fellow sun enthusiasts. Speakers include Genie Maybanks (executive director of Iowa Solar Trade Association), Rob Hogg (board chair of Iowa Faith and Climate Network, formerly known as Iowa Interfaith Power and Light), Mike Carberry (Bright Future Iowa), Carrie Lane (board president of I-Renew) and Greg Barnett (board member for Prairiewoods and I-Renew). Together we’ll learn about the benefits and history of solar energy in Iowa, dispel myths about solar energy, choose a reputable company and celebrate the gracious gift of the sun. Whether you’re a solar expert or just curious, this event is for you. Let’s shine a light on the future—powered by the sun! This event is free, and registration is not required.
