Organization News
Last Project: Saturday March 10, 2007: We decorated light switch covers to put in our rooms to use with our $400 gift, florescent
light bulbs! We also talked about Energy Hogs.
***BONUS: On March 18, 2007, Christine Ellersick, Kathryn Ellersick, Christine Bennett, and Lauren Bennett attended the Harvard
Museum of Natural History to meet Jane Goodall and for other Massachusetts Roots & Shoots groups to meet her and presents
their projects to her. Also, Dr. Goodall delivered her lecture Reason for Hope in a Complex World at Harvard's Sanders Theater
at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 18. She discussed the exciting and innovative work of the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots & Shoots.
A book signing followed. Tickets sold extremely quickly. Fifteen Roots & Shoots groups exhibited their work at the Harvard
Museum of Natural History beginning at 10:30 a.m. Dr. Jane visited and heard about their projects. Two of the groups were
from Medford: The Medford High School group as well as our group. Space was very limited, because Roots and Shoots didn’t
run this program, but Harvard did. It was a great experience to meet Jane Goodall, and see some of Massachusetts' hardworking
Roots & Shoots members.
Next Project: coming soon...
Location: Roots & Shoots meetings are held by the left-side parking lot of the Medford High School, in the Medford Family
Network center (the purple door). We will update this website if location is changed, if there is a specific location for
a certain event, it will be listed in the meeting's description.
