WINDFALL--The Movie...The Voices of Tug Hill and Meredith, New York

Wow, am I behind, here!  There is so much happening in the world of 'wind' that I should be posting and sharing, but I've had difficulty finding the time.  I'll make an attempt to play a little 'catch up' tonight.

Until the phone rings....

Here goes!

Windfall, Laura Israel's award-winning documentary, is coming to Maine!  Click here to watch the official trailer.  This movie is providing us with an incredible opportunity to educate Mainers about the down-side of grid-scale wind development.  Residents in two New York communities learned their lessons the hard way, and their story is poignant-- and contemporary to what is happening right here in Maine. 

Right here and NOW in Maine.

Friends of Maine's Mountains is sponsoring multiple events during the month of February and into early March.  Be sure to check FMM's website for more information (and while you're there, check out the information about the Tim Sample Event at the Harraseeket Inn in Freeport on St. Patrick's Day!)

We hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity.  The dates and venues will be confirmed on February 1st, but I do know that The Strand Theater in Rockland has already confirmed showings on Saturday, March 3rd at 2:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 4th at 3:00 p.m. 

An anonymous benefactor has donated money so that any resident of Vinalhaven Island (the home of the three Fox Island Wind turbines) can attend the movie at the Rockland venue for FREE.  Please call me for more information (207-628-2070)--and please help us spread the word.  Folks who have already seen this movie say the similarities to our present circumstances are chilling and that the move will change your life... and for sure, it will open your eyes.

Stay tuned and then, please join us! Coming soon to a venue near you!
