Hi! Here's the REVISED outline for Kepler's Go-Green Summer Series. Please NOTE: that I have also included it on a word document - which will probably be EASIER to read in the outline format.
   
  I will be emailing directly to the leads of the events with more specific information and questions in the next day.
