[GREN-Exec] FW: GREN meeting on Oct 15th?

FW: GREN meeting on Oct 15th?John et al:

After reveiwing Gord Miller's annual report on the state of Environment it may be worth while to have an summary report or abstract made up (15 minutes?)  We are not the only ones who are not overly impressed with the actions, or in-actions, of the government and it's ministries.

  Please get me thoughts as quickly as possible on topics for the GREN meeting next week in Elora. Sorry for being behind on this. I have been totally swamped this month.

  Susan K, you are great at putting together interesting notices. Can you put together a notice to be used to send out to groups in the area as well as to the local paper.

  Location is in Norah's message below.

  OK booked an alternate spot - in the Stage Room of the Elora Arts Centre - definitely holds more folks.

  Could you put together a little blurb for us to send out by email  to the usual suspects-and the paper - not a minute to soon for them

  Hey Toni..   You are quick!.. But if we send out a bulletin , put it in the Elora and Fergus paper, would we draw a few more than 20 ?  We would hope for maybe 30... what thinkest thou.?  Lots of enviro things going on here.. practically viral in all directions. Norah

  Hi Don,

  I have emailed you as a membe of GUFF recently but I am also a member of Grand River Environmental Network.  You can pick up some of our info at the website www.gren.ca .
  We have started our new year ( our 2nd year) and would like to continue with connecting  to the region on environmental issues. Usually we meet in Kitchener. 

  Because we are an advocacy group for the GRwatershed we would like to have a meeting next month Oct 15th in Elora. This group formed last year ... and have an educated group of members.. mostly still working in various enviro fields. John Jackson of Great Lakes United is the chair this year and Susan Bryant of Elmira is secty. One of our issues is protecting watersheds. The Waterloo Moraine and the Paris Galt moraines have featured strongly this past year since they are being developed. Also, there is a pipeline group advocating for  more conservation and protection. 

  Meetings are from 715 -915pm. No money, no fees.. but lots of enviro talk.. They came to Guelph last spring where GUFF made a presentation on low impact development and sustainability. (Guelph Urban Forest Friends) The GREN meetings have 12-20 people working on various issues.. regional transit, tree canopy, water protection, etc. So we do not need a huge space but would like to reach out to other enviro groups in your area. 

  The members would like to know the issues and challenges in the Elora Fergus part of the watershed. Would you be interested in hosting this ? Perhaps Neighbourwoods would present or the ECEE? The successes and obstacles that you have had? 
  Could we get space for a meeting and get the word out in Elora and Fergus for enviro activists to come? That is a set date. 

  I look forward to hearing from you , Don.  I emailed Toni recently but know she is up to her ears in building a new home. And I realize that you are the contact person now for the ECEE. So I will just copy her on this.   

  Looking forward to meeting you... 

  Norah Chaloner.
