[BWNA] FW: [earthdaypdx] Earth Day Meeting - Monday, Aug 14

[Albert Kaufman]

Hi everyone in Beaumont Wilshire land.  I'm sending this out in case you'd
like to start being involved in Earthday planning for 2007.  Bob New is
organizing Earth Day this year and it's going to be in our neck of the
woods.  So, I'd like to suggest that people get involved.  This is City
Repair event, too, so there will be lots of opportunities for us to get
involved, and learn skills that we can bring to our neighborhood.  If you'd
like to join the e-mail list for City Repair/Earth Day, please contact Bob
at the address below or visit the City Repair website and figure out how to
get on the list.

This past Earth Day was a fantastic event and I'm sure this year's will be
even better.  I'm excited that it's taking place in the Northeast!

Albert Kaufman
President
BWNA
