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.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12pt'>Hi Don,<BR>
<BR>
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 .<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
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? <BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
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. <BR>
<BR>
Looking forward to meeting you... <BR>
<BR>
Norah Chaloner. <BR>
<BR>
