Energy In Lyme Serving the Lyme Community for over 100 years
Do you know what that strange long object is at the top of the newsletter? If so you are likely someone the energy Commission would like to hear from! Energy continues to be a critical issue in our world. As with so many situations we face, we look to the children to be energy leaders as it is often hard to retrain adult generations. Lyme’s Energy Commission is asking all of us to take this opportunity to get the kids asking questions about energy and working with their parents by completing a very short survey.
Lyme School
The survey is intended to create an inventory of town energy use/conservation practices and to find out if those who have taken steps to 1) reduce energy use, and 2) produce renewable energy, would be willing to speak to the Energy Committee about what they have done in more detail. Often times people with the initiative to improve their energy use and production habits are willing to share their practices with others. At this point we have 28 responses out of about 800 households. We know that we can do better.
the
Enclosed you will find a printed survey or you may choose to complete it on line via SurveyMonkey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ 6LZPPG8. You participation will help us help each other. In case you were wondering that strange object at the top of the newsletter is a solar evacuated tube used to heat water year round.

Lyme School Open House Tuesday
OCT
23
Students are encouraged to attend and show their parents around. Tuesday, October 23rd 6pm - 7pm
Be a part of what the future could bring... On Tuesday, October 23rd at 6pm the school is hosting our open House where you can see not only what is going on today in our school, but also what could be in the future. The school board will be hosting its first public hearing on how it would like to address our schools space needs. This short presentation will include the reasons why it is being considered, as well as what the initial plans could include. They will be seeking questions and input as well as presenting the process and timeline which will precede the bond vote which would potentially take place this March. We hope to have everyone that can attend join this conversation.
Blisters for Books
Once again the students & parents of the Lyme School, along with the support of their friends and community members, ran around the common to support the Converse Free Library’s youth book collection. To everyone who helped support this year's Blisters for Books fundraiser, thank you. Numbers aren't in yet ... but we couldn't have had a more beautiful day for the run. Special thanks to parents who provided food and came out to support the students. Thank you for helping to make this such a fun event. Our biggest thank you should go to Denby Coyle and Maggie Minnock who coordinated the event again this year!
