[Green] Kudos, Earth Day planning, and call for agenda items (sheesh)

[Vic Elam]

Dawn,

I have a 10' X 20' canopy that I have offered up to the Earth Day planners
and if it is not needed elsewhere I suggested that maybe it could be used
instead of multiple popups for the FUUSM/MOVCA/CCL/Ginnie's or whoever will
fit, Kathy Ort was agreeable to that if it will fit in the space. Is that
something you would like?

Also, the tree planting project is postponed due to river conditions, we
are hoping to do it the following Saturday the 27th.

We have crayons out the wazoo stored in a pile of craft stuff in the
basement that I am trying to find a home for anyway. I will try to remember
to bring them and I will not want them back.

I thought the service went well also, there are a couple things that I wish
I said, but I always feel that way after a talk.

I may be waffling back and forth between Brand Bond's Memorial and Earth
Day Set up this Friday afternoon, if there is anything that I can get
positioned or help with at that time let me know.

Thank you,

Vic

When the Earth, its products, its creatures become his concern, man is
caught up in a cause greater than his own life and more meaningful. Only
when man loses himself in an endeavor of that magnitude does he walk and
live with humility and reverence.   - William O. Douglas
