We're
having a first meeting for this school/church year of C4C after church
this Sun. at noon up in the Senior High Room. We'll brainstorm about
what we want to accomplish this year as well as talk about the Asheville
Beyond Coal movement. (see attached poster).
The National Sierra Club has decided that Asheville and
WNC is ripe to begin to retire the Lake Julian Coal-fired Power
Plant. Sierra Club has sent 2 staff people to Asheville for six mos. to
start this campaign. They have had committments in Washington state to
shut down their coal plants. Pretty amazing! See the attached poster
to explain the planned demonstration at lake Julian on Sun. afternoon
10/14. We're organizing for kayaks and canoes with banners and lots of
people in the park for this demonstration. Sierra Club plans to make
videos and photos here to use nation-wide for this campaign. i'm
especially hoping for Youth to be in on the planning. I have asked
several youth to also come to meet with Jackelin, the young, dynamic
Sierra Club staff person. She'll meet with them in the Middle School
room. We welcome anyone to join us. Forward this on if you think of
someone who might be interested.
Call me if you are able to stay for an hour or so after
church (I hope you can!). I'll pick up burritos at Urban Burrito for
$7 each. How's that for a bribe?!
