<STRONG>Newton Move Forward</STRONG> - On Thursday March 27 at 7:00pm join Move Newton Forward for a forum discussing "The Structural Deficit: An overview of fiscal challenges facing Newton and other Massachusetts cities and towns" at the Senior Center, 345 Walnut Street. A distinguished panel of state and local experts, featuring Geoff Beckwith, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Municipal Association, Sandy Pooler, Chief Administrative Officer of the City of Newton and Sandy Guryan, Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance of the Newton Public Schools, will discuss and answer questions from the public, such as "What drives the structural deficit?'; 'How does Newton close the gap between revenues and expenses?'; 'What are other municipalities doing to solve their <br>
structural deficit problem?'; and 'What is the role of the Commonwealth in creating or solving this problem?'.<br>

<STRONG>Artwork for Education</STRONG> - Look in student's backpacks this week for the Artwork for Education brochures and order forms. The cards look great - what a bunch of artists we have here at Cabot! Order forms are due back by April 10th.<br>

<STRONG>World Earth Hour 2008</STRONG> - March 29th between 8:00 - 9:00pm has been designated World Earth Hour by the World Wildlife Fund (<A href="http://www.earthhour.org">www.earthhour.org</A>). The concept, originated last year in Australia, calls for everyone to turn off all lights in their home/ business for one hour, from 8 - 9:00pm on Saturday March 29th. If every American household turned off the lights for one hour at 8:00pm local time, more than 16,610 tons of carbon dioxide would be prevented from being released!<br>
