Hi Greentown Community,

We hope you had an amazing New York Climate Week—thank you to everyone who joined our showcase on Tuesday at SOSV Biome! We’ve got a busy (and exciting!) fall ahead. As we settle into the new season, it’s a great time to put our emergency procedures into practice with an evacuation drill to the rally point on Tyler St. 🚨 Based on training from New Member Orientation and the Emergency Procedures Handbook, the drill will take place sometime between Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and Oct. 2 at 5 p.m. (ice cream will be waiting at the end 🍦). If you anticipate challenges with this timing or have questions, please reach out to safety@greentownlabs.com. Evacuation instructions here.

Thats all for now, have a great week!
