Meeting: Monday, August 31, 2009 at 6:00 PM

Please come to our next meeting this Monday, August 31, 2009 at 6:00 at the Main Public Library 2nd floor lounge to help finalize our plans for the Green U on Sat. Sept. 26th. This may be the most important environmental event of this year. Our positive presence linking with the public will help our organization, become better known so we can have more of an influence with the body politic. We appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this organization thus far.

Please continue helping us make the Green Coalition a household name in our community.

See you Monday! Have a good week, Lynn
