MEETINGS
Date and Time: Saturday, May 19, 2:00 PMSpeaker:Alyse Shockey of HH Wellness and Rebecca Hanna of Maryland Smart Meter Awareness will be giving an educational presentation that gives an overview of the obvious and hidden sources of electromagnetic pollution in our current environment. Alyse will remediate the room before the presentation and take every measure possible to accommodate those who are electrohypersensitive. The laptop she will be using for the PowerPoint presentation has been remediated. Alyse will be demonstrating a unique way to protect yourself and your living space on a quantum level from the health impacts of EMR. She will show a case study that reveals how successful this approach is. Rebecca Hanna will elaborate on the current status of Smart Meters and the steps to take to support the effort to obtain an Opt-Out option and ultimately a moratorium in Maryland. In the meantime it would be helpful if the attendees go to the Maryland Smart Meter Awareness website and sign the smart meter petition which can be found on the EVENTS page. A hard copy will be available at the presentation for those who cannot tolerate the EMR of a computer. Maryland Smart Meter Awareness and the Center For Safer Wireless are hoping to collect as many signatures as possible to present to the Maryland Public Service Commission on May 22, the day of the Smart Meter Opt-Out Hearing. If you are able, this is the chance to voice your concerns about smart meters. Individuals from the public sector are invited to testify for 5 minutes each.Location: The Maryland City Library, 3501 Russett Common, Laurel, MD.
DIRECTIONS: From the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, head west on Route 198 less than 1/4 mile, then turn right at the first traffic light onto Russett Green East. Go past the Wal-Mart entrance, then turn left onto Russett Common. The library is on the left. Do not come via I-95, as Rt. 198 through Laurel is slow.
