[LincolnTalk] REMINDER: Join us at the Lincoln Climate Action Plan Community Workshop #2 on April 12 or April 14!

[Curtin, Jennifer via Lincoln]

Lincoln Climate Action Plan

Community Workshop #2

What's the Lincoln Climate Action Plan?

The Town of Lincoln is gathering input for a Climate Action Plan that will 
guide efforts to reduce carbon emissions and increase our community's 
resilience to climate change impacts. Developing a Climate Action Plan involves 
community outreach and engagement, the identification of needs and goals, and 
the development of actionable strategies to increase resilience and 
sustainability.

We had great discussions at the workshops held in early March and are looking 
forward to engaging with more residents during this next workshop focused on 
strategy implementation. We want to hear from you!

What's the Community Workshop?

The Community Workshop is a public event that will be held twice - on April 12 
at 7:00 p.m. and April 14 at 8:30a.m.

The Community Workshop is being hosted twice to make it easier to virtually 
attend. The information shared will be the same, so you only need to attend 
once. We hope you will join us to hear about Lincoln's Climate Action Plan 
process and share your experiences and ideas for the Town! You can register for 
either of the two dates here:

* Register for the April 12 event at: 
http://tinyurl.com/LincolnWorkshopApril12

* Register for the April 14 event at: 
https://tinyurl.com/LincolnWorkshopApril14
Questions or Comments? Please email Jennifer Curtin

[LincolnTalk] ISO outdoor ultrasonic bark control device

[Terry Kay Epperson]

Dear community,

We have been helping a friend back home who had become homeless.  She was
living in a camper without water, electricity, or sewage.  Things went
downhill from there.  She had suffered a traumatic brain injury years ago,
but reached out for help when she was struck by a vehicle while putting in
job applications (she was walking, as she has no vehicle).  She suffered a
compound fracture in her arm and a broken pelvis.  She ended up with
osteomyelitis, which was probably the best thing that could have happened
to her, because she ended up in the hospital for weeks.  We formed a
private facebook group to help her after we discovered her situation.  She
is now in a home in a neighborhood, but has three dogs who are truly
emotional support dogs.  They were the only source of love and
companionship that she had for years.  She is concerned that their barking
will disturb the neighbors and has asked for an outdoor barking device.
I'm unfamiliar with the technology, but they appear to work
ultrasonically.  Our goal has been to try sourcing used "new to V" items
first, to conserve monetary donations for her food and more dire needs.

All of this to ask: if anyone has an outdoor ultrasonic bark control
device/tower that they no longer need we would be grateful for it!

Finally - to the folks who donated the laptop and phone - thank you so
much.  These have helped more than you can ever truly realize.  Especially
the laptop.  She was able to submit the two previous years' tax returns,
and she recently received those funds.  It was amazing for her, that she
had some of her own money to use toward items she needed.

warm regards,
Terry Kay

Hello Cris,
The folks at Computer Loft in Boston are excellent for this sort of help.  
Although it’s a walk-in facility, you could try calling them at 617-782-9997.  
They’re located at 6 Fordham Road in Alston, but I’ve always found it well 
worth the trip.

Good luck!

[LincolnTalk] Software help

[Cris Ratiner]

Hi Lincoln,

Is there any company or person you could recommend who could help with some 
Microsoft problems on my Mac?   I’m sure it’s a 
software-confusing-itself-and-me problem, but I haven’t a clue how to fix it 
and don’t know who you go to for this kind of thing

Thanks so much,
Cris Ratiner
