  • Vernal Equinox (March 22): March 27-28, 2009 at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Rocheser, MN
  • Summer Solstice (June 21):  June 12-13, 2009 at the Mary Brown Environmental Center, Ely, MN (come a day early to help with Spring Clean-up)

  • Winter Solstice (December 21): To be scheduled.

Regional Chapter Meetings

There are many individuals who cannot attend the longer quarterly membership meetings but wish to be active at their home congregations or in their geographic areas. For those individuals, MEESC has established Regional Chapters. These meetings are generally on an evening and last only a few hours. Frequency of meetings is left up to the individual chapters.

The following are the Regional Chapters and their next scheduled meeting:

Bemidji: To be scheduled
For more information, contact: Bert Whitcombe

Duluth: To be scheduled for January 2009
For more information, contact Nelson Thomas

Northfield: To be scheduled
For more information, contact Emily Nesvold

Twin Cities: To be scheduled.
