[All] GREN Summer BBQ at Sunfish Lake - July 18th 6:30pm

[Robert Milligan]

Thanks for volunteering your lake-area home Kevin. I look forward to  
the experience including discussions about GREN's future. In that  
regard, I think that we have to be at least more of an organization  
that fills in the gaps left by other environmental organizations and  
an organization that inspires others -- esp. young people and the  
retired -- to action. And greater use of the new media would help in  
all these areas+.

Cheers,
Robert
