<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Much of our energy this year was taken up by the LRT debate. That was a very valuable use of our time and energies – even more so because we were part of a successful coalition.<BR>
<BR>
I have, however, been getting the occasional e-mail from members asking what GREN is doing, where our meetings are, etc. I think that we need to get together to discuss what we want to do with GREN starting this fall and the best way forward for our organization.<BR>
<BR>
I know that this is highly unlikely to be possible, but it would be great if we could get together this summer. Unfortunately, the only date that Susan B and I both have available in August is next Thursday the 4th. By any chance are the rest of you available then. If not, we will have to find a time in September.<BR>
<BR>
Please let me know whether August 4 works for you asap.<BR>
