The correct link (which does not take you to a twitter page) is https://www.eventbrite.com/e/48-peaks-a-journey-of-ten-years-tickets-560858… It looks the same externally, but goes to the correct Eventbrite page. Thanks to Mary Jane for uncovering this. My apologies for the error. Webmaster Editorial: This is a teachable moment. BE VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT CLICKING ON ANY LINK IN AN E-MAIL FROM A STRANGER, NO MATTER HOW INNOCENT IT LOOKS. In this case, the bad link was annoying but harmless. Many such messages are not harmless. I got one from a Boston University e-mail address just yesterday.

OPT UP to 100% Renewable Energy through city's program
by Melissa Ludtke 06 Feb '19

06 Feb '19

Ruth: Can you also share this message with the Porter Square Neighborhood Association? Bottom line: it's less expensive to go 100% Renewable Electricity though the city's program than it is to stick with Eversource Basic. Mothers Out Front is urging every household to make the switch. Melissa Opt up to 100% Green Plus. Green the Grid and Invest in Local Solar! You can choose to opt up to have ALL of your electricity come from 100% local renewable sources for less cost than the current Eversource basic rate. If you have not made a phone call or gone on line to do this then you are NOT enrolled in 100% Green Plus! Please consider decreasing your carbon footprint by choosing the “100% Green Plus” option! Here’s how in 2 easy steps: 1. First, get your electric bill. You'll need your account number. 2. Then, sign up online at masspowerchoice.com/cambridge/100-green or call 866-968-8065 Since 2017, Cambridge Community Electricity (CCE) has been lowering costs and providing more renewable energy for all existing Eversource Basic Service customers. In the 2019 contract, the CCE will also create more local solar energy by taking a small amount of customer savings to fund the creation of local solar projects that will benefit all Cambridge Community Electricity customers.
