"Mislead: America's Secret Epidemic" Film Screening Oct. 24

Past event
Oct 24, 2013, 5 to 7 PM

Dear Neighbors,

In celebration of Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, CEDO’s Burlington Lead Program is sponsoring a Special Engagement Preview Screening of the new documentary “MisLEAD: America’s Secret Epidemic” on Thursday, October 24th at 5 pm in Contois Auditorium. The film tells the story of an Oregon mother, Tamara Rubin, whose children were lead poisoned after contractors failed to use lead safe work practices when doing home renovations. Tamara has been travelling the country meeting with experts and other parents of lead poisoned children looking for answers. A panel discussion with the film’s director and experts in the lead poisoning prevention field will follow the screening.

An estimated 80% of Burlington homes still contain harmful lead based paint. Please join the Burlington Lead Program on October 24th, to learn more how to keep your children safe from lead. For more information about the event or to request an accommodation, call 846-0149 or email lpyatt@burlingtonvt.gov.

Best,

Kesha
