[GREN-Exec] [All] Michael Harris and Party of One

[Kevin Thomason]

Hi Susan,

I think your e-mail went to the entire GREN list and not just the Exec.

I really like the idea of us hosting speakers and working with other groups on joint initiatives.  My only concern is that it might be better if it has an environmental focus rather than a political focus.  I'm not too sure that we should side with or against any particular political party as we will need to work with them all at some point or another.  

I also wouldn't want GREN to fall into the current governments crosshairs like the KW Field Naturalists did earlier this year and become the subject of intense Revenue Canada auditing.

Anyways - just my quick thoughts.

Cheers,
Kevin.

We’d have to cover his travel expenses to bring him from Halifax – flights to Toronto would be about $600 and Anita said they could cover half of that. I’m willing to donate to the cause and would GREN be willing to contribute some dollars?
