This emailed memo came today from the now former chair of the Medfield Energy Committee, Fred Bunger, who is moving to Wellesley to be nearer to family. Medfield benefited hugely from Fred’s excellent, thoughtful, and persistent stewardship of the MEC. Fred engineered the town becoming a Green Community last year, with all that entails, including the receipt of a $148,000 DOER grant and the development of a plan to reduce the town’s future energy consumption by 20% – a reduction which is over an above the 30% reduction that the MEC had already helped the town achieve under the original MEC Chair, Marie Zack Nolan. That grant money is now being used to undertake a recommissioning of the HVAC controls at the Medfield High School and the Blake Middle School, the town’s two biggest energy users, so as to make both operate more efficiently.

Dear Sirs,
This letter is to confirm that the Medfield Energy Committee has chosen Lee Alinsky as Chairman, by vote of the members in attendance at the June 8, 2017 Energy Committee meeting.
I will be moving from Medfield in September 2017, so can no longer serve on the Energy Committee.
Please make Lee welcome and give him the excellent support you have given me for the past two years. Your ongoing support of the Energy Committee will continue to help the Town achieve its efficiency goals.
Thank you for the honor of serving you.
Sincerely,
