This is an event sponsored by the Palm Beach County Planning Congress and is open to everyone. We were lucky to be chosen for an exclusive showing of the documentary in this area. Other showings will be held across the nation during the month of March. Rachel Carson was the author of "Silent Spring." The book opened a door of awareness to the effect of pesticides in the environment. A panel of noted women environmentalists will discuss the film along with contemporary environmental issues.
I will be attending. I invite anyone interested in going to contact me and we can double up on transportation. It would also be an opportunity to join the Planning Congress. Membership benefits include access to a series of monthly events that highlight planning, zoning and environmental issues unique to South Florida. I'd love to see a large group from Lake Worth take advantage of this opportunity!
