The Wilmore Woman's Club will meet May 12 at 7 p.m. in the Community Center at Wesley Village. All women, and men too, are invited to hear Dr. J. Matthew Sleeth, author of, "Serve God Save the Planet." Sleeth was the medical director of a large urban hospital. He and his family lived in a big house, they had two luxury cars, loads of money, and lots of stuff. They sold their house, gave away half of their possessions, dramatically reduced their energy consumption, and moved to Wilmore. Now he travels the country as an advocate for a green Earth. His book tells the story of the Sleeth family's adventure, and is a handbook for anyone daring enough to consider a lifestyle change in order to save the planet for future generations.
