Summer Block Party
We're hosting a summer block party on the evening of July 17 as part of
the Sierra Club's nationwide Lightbulbs to Leadership campaign. The
campaign is sending the message that to really solve global warming, we
need to change more than lightbulbs -- we need to change direction. We
need action that is strong, urgent, and bold enough to get the job done.
As part of this event there will be live music (Rob Drabkin), special
local guest speakers and we (along with others in hundreds of house
parties across the country) will participate in a teleconference call
with Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope, green jobs leader Van
Jones, and another special guest. They'll talk about how we can achieve
a clean energy future that creates green jobs and a healthy economy.
Please RSVP.

Wish
List
We
get by with a little help from our friends! If you would like to donate
an item, please contact Wende
.
Office Supplies: Paper (preference is recycled content!); postage
stamps, pens & pencils
Special events: Items for raffles, travel packages for auctions
Camping / Hiking / Outdoor equipment: Ski and snowshoe gear. Camp
stoves, tents, and sleeping bags. Please only donate functioning,
quality items. We plan to give the gear to the Chapter Inner City
Outings program for use by their participants.
Reduce-Reuse-Recycle!
Each year, our group practices the three
Rs by holding a Garage Sale Fundraiser (Date for 2007 is TBA - most
likely in May). It is a great way for you to clean out any unwanted
items (REDUCE) and put them to good use (REUSE & RECYCLE)
instead of having them head to the landfill. If you would like to
donate an item, please contact Wende.
