Stop the NY Fracked Gas Pipeline meeting at the First Reformed Church of Bethlehem, 38 Church Road, Selkirk.Thursday, February 25, from 6-8 pm. 

After our recent successes, we will plan our efforts toward engaging more elected officials, fundraising, outreach, etc. This comes off the heels of the well attended public forum in January and the strong anti-pipeline resolution of the Bethlehem Town Board. Other towns are moving forward too--thanks to all of your efforts.
