President's Message

Dear IFC friends,

Climate change is hard to miss these days. As I listened to Greta Thunberg, the young Swedish climate activist who sailed to New York to speak to the United Nations Climate Action Summit, I reflected on the changes I can make in my own life in order to reduce my carbon footprint. I hope that this fall, while we admire the explosion of colors that Mother Nature offers to us, we can make a commitment with ourselves to take good care of the wonderful planet that we call home. As always, I hope to see you at the October Coffee Morning in the house of Birgitta Odqvist on October 2.
