Neighborhood Planning Assemblies (NPAs) are grassroots, neighborhood organizations that were established in each of Burlington's seven Wards to encourage citizen participation in City government. Working as neighborhood advocacy groups, Neighborhood Planning Assemblies help improve communication between the citizens of Burlington and City government through regular meetings scheduled in each Ward. Ward 6 meets the first Thursday of the month. Meeting place: Greek Orthodox Church 600 South Willard Street.

Environmentalist, Bill McKibben, at Saint Michael's College gives a talk, “After America’s Hottest Year, It’s Time to Act: FOSSIL FUEL, DIVESTMENT, AND THE FUTURE”.
McKibben’s 1988 book The End of Nature was the first book for a general audience about global warming. He is co-founder and Chair of 350.org, an international climate campaign that works in 188 countries around the world. Bill McKibben is also the 2012 Burlington Free Press Vermonter of the Year.
The talk is sponsored by the SMC Lecture Series, Marketing Department, Green Up Club, Office of Sustainability, Environmental Studies Program and Environmental Council.
