<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>My understanding from our last meeting is that in December we would encourage people to go to the environmental networking meeting on December 5th instead of holding our own meeting.<BR>
Who on our executive is going to the meeting? Unfortunately, I will be in Buffalo that part of the week and will not be able to make it. <BR>
<BR>
Kevin, can you please send out the invite to Wednesday’s meeting to the whole GREN list along with a small paragraph about why the meeting is important?<BR>
<BR>
<B>As the executive, we should consider commitments or networking offers for follow-up to that meeting that we may be willing to make at the meeting this Wednesday. Any ideas on this? For example, broaden our bi-monthly meetings? Have our website be a central calendar or place where people can post their issues? We need to make sure that if we make offers like this that we have the resources and time to fulfil the commitments. Please let’s have a dialogue by e-mail before Wednesday among the executive on this matter.<BR>
<BR>

On other updates, I have been working with the people in Brant County on pulling together a joint meeting in January. It looks like we will be meeting on a Tuesday. We are trying to get the date tied down asap.<BR>
<BR>
We are also working with Bob Burtt’s leadership on having a major meeting in March on water efficiency and conservation. We are co-planning this with RARE and Great Lakes United.<BR>

John,<BR>
<BR>
I can't remember. Did we book or plan for a GREN Meeting in December or should we consider/promote the upcoming Wednesday, December 5th meeting of environmental groups from across Waterloo Region as our December meeting event?<BR>
<BR>
Let me know any thoughts and ideas.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
Kevin.<BR>
