SUMMARY:Solar One Gala: Learning & Growing Together
DESCRIPTION:The Solar One Gala: Learning & Growing Together\, on Thursday\, October 16th\, 2025\, will be an evening soirée by the East River\, celebrating the supporters\, partners\, and visionaries who helped turn the decades-long dream of the Environmental Education Center into reality. The Center is a thriving hub for climate education\, community action\, and green space stewardship—made possible by the generosity and dedication of people like you. This special event honors the deep roots we’ve planted in Stuy Cove Park and the bright\, sustainable future we’re building together. \nThe Gala is the second half of our 2-part celebration\, following September’s People-Power for the Planet Social\, and will feature cocktails\, connections\, and a heartfelt tribute to those who’ve helped Solar One grow from the ground up. \n\n\n \nJoin us on October 16th @ 6:30PM\, and become a sponsor/get your ticket for the Solar One Gala (Community Social ticket included): https://givebutter.com/c/s1-gala \nMore details about our Solar One Gala + September Community Social (2-Part Event Sponsorship Opportunity/Tickets) please check out the page below: https://solar1.org/2025-special-events-partnership-opportunities/ \n  \n\nAbout Solar One: Our mission is to support underserved communities through innovative K-12 STEM education\, green workforce training and job placement\, solar technical assistance\, and land stewardship that fosters sustainability and resiliency across NYC and beyond. \nAbout the S1 Environmental Education Center (S1EEC): Join us for an inspiring celebration marking the grand opening of the Solar One Environmental Education Center—a visionary project more than 20 years in the making. From the opening of Stuy Cove Park in 2000 to overcoming the devastating setbacks of Superstorm Sandy\, our community voiced a powerful support for a space dedicated to sustainability\, native plants\, and environmental education for students and residents to engage in bettering our ecosystem. Solar One was formed as the organization that would achieve these goals. Now integrated into the newly redesigned flood-resilient landscape\, the Environmental Education Center stands as a beacon of resilience and community. Come celebrate this incredible milestone with the fellow donors\, stakeholders\, staff\, friends\, and neighbors who made this possible at a spirited soirée by the East River honoring our shared commitment to a greener future.

SUMMARY:Community Ecology Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Join NYC Parks Greenthumb and Solar One’s Stuy Cove Park at BioBat Art Space for the spring 2025 edition of the Community Ecology Reading Group! This media meetup is a non-traditional book club– here’s how it works: bring a book\, article\, podcast\, film\, etc related to this season’s theme of MICROBES as well as a short snippet or quote you’d like to share with the group. We’ll casually and tangentially discuss all things bacterial\, fungal\, eukaryotic and viral while enjoying some fermented beverages and other snacks (feel free to BYO!) We can read aloud to one another and add our contributions to the ongoing crowd-sourced Ecological Reading List\, which can be viewed here. \nAfterwards we’ll take a walk through the current exhibition Water Stories\, curated by Elena Soterakis\, which includes a good many algal ancestors\, ecological extremophiles\, and recalcitrant microbes from whom we surely have much to learn about surviving on a rapidly changing planet. We hope to see you there! \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-ecology-reading-group-tickets-1264426777529?aff=oddtdtcreator&mc_cid=e7b058d6d7&mc_eid=2a8d5c4ebb \nThis event is FREE.
