THIS WEEK--A Hike & Opportunity to Serve NLEN

Last Green Drinks, Sheridan Thompson joined us.  She leads the Newfoundland & Labrador Environment Network (NLEN).  The group is sponsoring a hike this Friday and, more pressing, is looking for new members for their Steering Committee.  Here's what she said:

I really wanted to thank you for your interest in NLEN and sure hope you can make the upcoming AGM - Friday, May 15th, 2 pm, Botanical Gardens.  We are also looking for solid Steering Committee as we have some funding and I could use the support as Coordinator and Project Lead.  Eh hem, we could use a liaison with NAACAP ;)  Anyhoo...see our AGM info below, and if you are interested in receiving our e-update, please go here, scroll down the page and input your email in the box to the right. http://www.nlen.ca/
Thanks again - looking forward to meeting you again soon!
