Join LexCAN and Lexington HeatSmart on Friday, March 6, from 7:00–8:30 PM at the Lexington Community Center Dining Room for a free Dine & Learn community buffet featuring food from a local restaurant for Lexington Chinese Speaking residents.
Learn how to save money and help the environment by taking advantage of Mass Save incentives for energy and fuel costs, insulation, heat pumps and more. After the presentation, you’ll have the chance to speak one-on-one with HeatSmart advisors about your specific home and where you are on your clean energy journey.
This event also marks the launch of a new Mandarin-language HeatSmart offering. Native Chinese speakers who would be more comfortable learning about clean energy and weatherization programs in Mandarin are warmly encouraged to attend. Though the event will be in Mandarin, english-speaking advisors will be present.
Savoring the Savings: A Look Back at Our Launch Event
Our “Dine and Learn” event was a wonderful success, with over 40 neighbors coming together to kick off the Lexington HeatSmart for Chinese Speakers program. This program seeks to enhance access to clean energy incentives by building cultural and linguistic bridges to Lexington residents of Chinese descent.
The evening featured a bilingual presentation in Mandarin and English led by Beibei Wang and Andy Joynt, supported by the wonderful video translation work of Chen Yang and Lucy Liu. The highlight of the night was the lively Q&A session, where residents shared stories and asked insightful questions about making their homes more comfortable and sustainable. Bilingual volunteers were on hand to provide interpretation between HeatSmart advisors and residents.
