Hi All,
An early reminder about our next meeting, Tuesday Nov. 8th. We are having a speaker coming from Truro, Nova Scotia, below is the text of a press release I am distributing to local media. I am hoping that we will have a strong turn-out at this meeting as Helene is travelling a long way to speak to us and her topic is one of great concern for wildlife. Please encourage anyone you know who might be interested to attend. The public will be very welcome. Peter
Attached is a brochure about the issue.
