Dec 1st United Waste Management Hearing: A citizen's view
Having heard all the buzz about this proposed Waste Management Transfer Station, I wanted to hear some of the thoughts and ideas from both sides, therefore, I attended the first of several hearings held last evening, Monday, December 1st, 2008.
There was a sparse crowd attending, probably only about 20-25 citizens comprised of all ages and demographics. I had the feeling, however, that the people of the actual neighborhood that this Transfer Station would affect the most, was almost completely… Continue

It was a nice surprise to hear from you. I am very proud of the work you and Arron are doing for the campaign. The website is great!
Excellent job as emcee last night at the Party with a purpose! Nice group presentation. I even learned a few things. :) thanks
Doctor Linda Henderson, DVM, owner of Holyoke Animal Hospital, has agreed to speak February 26 on conservation of the Mt. Tom Range. Linda is an avid wildlife photographer whose inventory of stunning Mt. Tom images had led to several shows of her work. If there is a player connected to the Bungalow's TV screen, Linda and I will create a DVD of about ten minutes in length.
Regarding the logo I've placed in the C.R.U.S.H. website. I designed it many years ago with the idea of promoting awareness of the Mt. Tom Range. Please be advised that I consider the logo copy written and it is not be used in any form without my expressed written permission. Of course I realize that by placing it on the C.R.U.S.H. site I have exposed it to potential reuse beyond C.R.U.S.H control.

Bernice and I will stop by tonight. Aren't available for the Feb. 26 event but could prepare something for someone else to read. Give me an idea of what you want addressed. Else, I have a couple subjects in mind.
Thanks for the invite,
Elbert
