“Climate and Energy and Policy, Oh My” will be the topic at the April meeting of the Anderson County Democratic Women’s Club. The club will meet at 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 28, at the Clinton Community Center, 101 S. Hicks St., Clinton.

Dan Terpstra will draw from his years of research on this rapidly evolving topic to describe the history, current status and what can be done both locally and nationally to move forward on these issues.

Terpstra is a retired computer scientist who spent the last dozen years of his career working with supercomputers in the Innovative Computing Lab at the University of Tennessee.

He is a founding member of Third Act Tennessee, part of a national organization defending democracy and climate action. He has long been concerned about climate change and its impact on society.

Terpstra, of Oak Ridge, has taught several ORICL courses on climate and energy and related issues, and he has been leading an adult Sunday school class on climate and related justice issues for five years.

The club will serve pizza at 5:30 p.m., suggesting a donation of $5 for pizza. The program will begin at 6 p.m. For more information, send an email to ac-democratic-women@outlook.com.
