<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>sorry for the delay - yes it really was a very good
turn-out both by candidates and the audience - I think it was a good thing
that the event was organized and held, so we could hear where
candidates stand, and to put environmental issues on the front burner as an
election issue. It was good for the candidates to learn about the groups
who hosted it also - that there are lots of people out there watching
locally what politicians do to protect our environment, and working on
initiatives themselves. It was somewhat shocking to hear from some candidates
that the environment does not really figure much on their list of important
things to know about or care about... all the more reason why events such
as these are important. Good work Susan, and thank you to everyone who worked to
organize the event. </FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The all-candidates meeting that we co-hosted with six
other environmental organizations on Tuesday evening was a great success. One
hundred people attended, perfectly filling the room. Forty of those people
were candidates. <BR><BR>It was great to see people hanging around for an hour
after the formal presentations to chat with the candidates – very valuable
interactions. The excellent desserts that people brought certainly encouraged
the discussions. To see photos that Julia Hawthornthwaite took at the event,
