<p>Just noticed I responded to John only. <br>
</p>
<p>I was also asked and I'm planning on attending a meeting this
month - Stacey just sent a Doodle poll to find a date that works.
As Kevin said they've been kind of hit and miss for many years.
I've been to a few of their breakfast workshops and they've been
quite informative and a great networking opportunity. I met Kate
Pearce from WGSI through one of them and she, through WGSI, has
been an incredible resource and source of support for both the
Good Green Death Project and Shannon's Partnering with Nature. <br>
</p>
<p>I also saw Nicole at the EcoMarket on Friday - she had just
defended her PhD thesis that day, which could explain the "hit and
miss" of WREN over the years. I also found WREN was less than
responsive when we were organizing the Environmental Election
Forum. <br>
</p>
<p>We do need a coordinated hub or network of eco-groups, but, in
reality, neither WREN nor GREN has been able to do that, which is
why I think it's important to be part of this "resurrection" or
whatever it is of WREN.</p>
<p>My two bits,</p>

What do you think of this request? I must admit that my
inclination is to say "no" and instead commit that time to GREN.
But if you think it is important, I can be persuaded to change my
mind. Or is there someone else that would be interested in doing
it?
