I just want to second what was said about Chris. We hosted him for a virtual program earlier this year. He is a great speaker, has a wealth of knowledge, and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend him.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Anna,
<div> We hosted Chris Edwards and his climate talk this past May and he is excellent! His presentation offers great information that is accessible to non climate scientists and he is very personable and easy to work with. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>His website is <a href="http://www.weatherchris.com" target="_blank">www.weatherchris.com</a> , email is
<a href="mailto:rfrhomes@live.com" target="_blank">rfrhomes@live.com</a> and you can find his talk on youtube if you want to preview his presentation. <a href="https://youtu.be/vzaBSK4lwxs?feature=shared" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/vzaBSK4lwxs?feature=shared</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Chris is based in metro Detroit and we are up in Northport - so we reached out to other local libraries to schedule him around the same time so he had more than one reason to make the trip north. And we had a great turn out! We highly recommend him.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Julie</div>

already.

Zoom/Live Stream programs (I do see the irony in having someone travel to talk about climate change, but getting the information out is important, so…)<u></u><u></u></span></p>
