Throughout the program\, Afro-Academic\, Cultural\, Technological & Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO)\, winners of the Montgomery County NAACP Branch will provide entertainment. \nThe Montgomery County Office of Human Rights and the County Executive’s African American Advisory Group are coordinating the program\, which commemorates the 153rd anniversary of the events of June 19\, 1865. On that day\, Union General Gordon Granger and 2\,000 federal troops arrived in Galveston\, Texas to take possession of the state and enforce the emancipation of its enslaved persons. The event today is known as Juneteenth and is celebrated widely across the United States. \n“The end of slavery not only meant freedom for a people\, it meant freedom for a nation\, However\, nothing is guaranteed; as we saw social justice and equality threatened and snatched away to be won again through the brave acts of the freedom fighters of the Civil Rights Movement and Selma\,” said Office of Human Rights Director James Stowe. “This is an important program for all Montgomery County families.” \nSeating is limited so reservations are encouraged and can be made on line at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/humanrights. For more information\, call James Stowe at the Office of Human Rights at 240-777-8490.

SUMMARY:Montgomery Green Democrats June Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery Green Democrats June Meeting\nBy 2040\, Montgomery will have 70% more congestion\, 40% more jobs and 20% more residents. In 2013\, Montgomery County approved a plan for an 81-mile bus rapid transit (BRT) network.   \nRecent attempts to fund the plan have met resistance. Now\, BRT funding from the state is set to run out\, and BRT’s future in Montgomery could be in doubt.  \nPete Tomao of the Coalition for Smarter Growth will update the status of the BRT plan and outline next steps for keeping the project moving. More info at http://www.smartergrowth.net/maryland/montgomery-county/ \nMonthly Meetings of the Montgomery County Green Democrats are open to the public.

SUMMARY:Tour of First Net-Zero Energy Middle School in Maryland
DESCRIPTION:USGBC National Capital Region First Net-Zero School in Maryland \n\n\nby USGBC National Capital Region\n\n\nTour the First Net Zero Energy Middle School in Maryland – WILDE LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL \nWilde Lake Middle School\, 10481 Cross Fox Lane\, Columbia\, MD 21044 \nThu\, June 15\, 2017  •  3:30 PM – 5:00 PM EDT \nCompleted in January 2017\, the new Wilde Lake Middle School (WLMS) will be the first net zero energy school in Maryland. A net zero energy building generates as much energy as it uses over the course of a year as a result of building design\, system efficiencies and on-site renewable energy sources\, such as solar power. The new Wilde Lake Middle School is positioned to be the most energy conscious and efficient school in the state with a targeted Energy Use Index (EUI) of below 25 kBTU/sf\, furthering Howard County Public School System’s (HCPSS) commitment to environmental sustainability as a support for healthy learning environments. WLMS building is an adaptation of a prototype middle school design and is designed to accommodate a population of 752 students.  \nUSGBC NCR chapter’s Montgomery County Committee invites you along with the HCPSS to join to tour this Middle School and learn from the design\, maintenance and school teams what it takes to convert a prototypical design to a Net Zero Energy School. WLMS is also the first school completed construction of 3 schools assisted by the Maryland Energy Administration’s (MEA) net zero energy school program. \n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION
