| RIVERS COALITION MEETING ON APRIL 24, 2008 AT 11AM TO FEATURE NEW POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ABOUT ESTUARY! |
|
Our problems with the St. Lucie estuary are vividly explored in a new and fast-moving Powerpoint presentation that will be given at the coming general meeting of the Rivers Coalition.It’s important that you attend this meeting at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 24, at the Realtors Auditorium, at the northwest corner area of Kanner Hwy. and Monterey Blvd.There’s plenty of free parking and coffee/donuts will be available.The brief powerpoint show is designed to be shown to various groups and government entities by members of the Rivers Coalition. The idea is to have concerned citizens put on the Powerpoint without a need for specialized expert backgrounds.By the way, the estuary is much cleaner these days, but ONLY because the flood gates have been closed tight for more than a year due to the long, but transient, drought.
We must make the point that the improvements we see now are simply what we should have all the time. Stop those unnatural discharges from the Lake Okeechobee watershed!
BE SURE YOUR GROUP IS REPRESENTED!
All of the Rivers Coalition’s 50 member groups should be represented at these monthly meetings, either by the designated person or by someone else from the organization, right?If you’re the official representative and can’t make it, please take a few minutes to arrange for an alternate to be there.
And, of course, all citizens are welcome and encouraged to attend. If we show our determination, we can restore and protect the estuary. Our quality of life as well as our property values are at stake.
