[GREN-Exec] Treasurer's report

[Greg Michalenko]

We currently have $19,646.65.  Linda Lukacyk sent us $10,000 about a year ago, and the Green Belt sent us $12,000.  There have been some disbursements.

I think we should consider making some funds available tor the new multi-organizational campaign against the proposed large expropriation (1028 hectares) of farmland by the Region,  to meet organizational and publicity expenses.   There is a strategy meeting Fri evening, which I will attend and could invite funding requests then. What are your thoughts?

I'm preparing a presenttion for the Nov. 9 Regional council meeting, but hope to present  it on behalf of the new Conservation Action Committee (one of my other hats) of Waterloo Region Nature, providing it gets presidential approval. I've registered for the meeting just as an individual, in case the pres does not approve.  The Conservation Committtee is  a new initiative for WRN andthis would be its first public intervention.  This would add another group to the coaliton.

I notice that Paul Britton is listed on the agenda item.  That means the developers are busy mustering, possibly to push for extra expropriation.  So the battle is on!
