[Green] Call for Agenda, and Call for delicious food!!

[Vic Elam]

Dawn, I sat in on a Ready for 100 conference call with other communities
last week and Sierra Club is developing a video supporting that effort,
should be available well in advance of the forum.  Might be something to
consider including in the Sustainable Forum if there is room and if it fits
upon review.  Just another thing to put on agenda for discussion.

I will attend the just dinner this week if I can come up with a dish.
