Owen Wallace brought the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m., by welcoming all the attendees back and giving a recap of the first year’s accomplishments of the BHNA.

First on the agenda -- Guest speaker, Mary Beth Kass, from Conversations for Action, a grassroots organization committed to helping the Bedford Community decrease CO2 emissions by the year 2020 (Bedford 20X20). Mary Beth gave a presentation explaining how energy audits are done (e.g. how much CO2 our community is emitting at the present time) so we can see our progress in future years.
