Citizens’ Climate Lobby Meeting @ Daily Grind
Aug 7 @ 12:30 am – 2:00 am

The Palouse Chapter of the Citizen’s Climate Lobby will meet from 5:30-7 p.m. on Wednesday August 6 at the Daily Grind on Main Street in Pullman. The Grind has a variety of beverages, sandwiches and pastries if you would like to eat there.

We will send the agenda and July’s minutes with our next reminder, but the focus of the meeting will be a Power Point presentation from the national office on climate change. Members, please come with tough–even adversarial–questions so we can hone our skills at giving presentations to local organizations.

The next national call is on Saturday, August 2 at 10 a.m. Retired general Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander will discuss the impact of climate change on national security. To listen to the call go to http://citizensclimatelobby.org and on the opening page, scroll down to National Call. If you are registered, you can listen live, or the call will be available as an MP3 by about 1 p.m. that day under the button “Listen to the August Call.” We hope you can listen to this prior to the August 6 meeting.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby Meeting @ Café Artista
Sep 11 @ 12:30 am – 2:00 am

Please mark your calendar for the next Citizens’ Climate Lobby meeting to be held Wednesday, September 10, 5:30 – 7:00 pm at Café Artista at 3rd and Main St. in Moscow. Café Artista offers teas, coffees, croissants and muffins. (Sorry, we’re not permitted to provide pizza at this venue.)

This week’s national CCL call will feature Retired Naval Rear Admiral Len Hering talking about the impact that climate change is having on national security. A link to the recording of the call will be available by mid-day Saturday (9/6) here: [http://citizensclimatelobby.org/resources/monthly-conference-calls-and-actions/]. Past national calls have been highly informative, and I encourage everyone to listen to the call if they can.

 

We’ll again have a quick letter-writing activity as part of this month’s meeting. I like this quote from Former Congressman Billy Evans (D-Georgia):

 

“Legislators estimate that 10 letters from constituents represent the concerns of 10,000 citizens. Anybody who will take the time to write is voicing the fears and desires of thousands more.”

 

 

Hope to see you next Wednesday.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby Meeting @ Daily Grind Coffee House - Pullman
Oct 9 @ 12:00 am – 2:30 am
Our agenda will include reports on our new website, on the Pullman-Moscow climate march, and this month’s national call:
“Adam Browning is co-founder and executive director of Vote Solar, which works at the state, federal and local level to implement programs and policies that allow strong  solar markets to grow — and pave the way for a transition to a renewable energy economy. On October’s call, Adam will share his insights from building support among conservatives for clean-energy policies. Prior to Vote Solar, Adam spent eight years with the EPA where he ran an award-winning pollution prevention program.”
Remember that there will be a link on CCL’s opening page starting this Saturday to “Listen to October Call.”

Citizens’ Climate Lobby Meeting @ La Madrid Restaurant
Nov 7 @ 1:30 am – 3:00 am

The results of our Doodle Poll to find a new meeting time are in, and the day most people said they could participate was the first Thursday of each month.  Respondents were nearly evenly divided on preferred start time, so we decided to stick with 5:30 pm in part because Cafe Artista, where we frequently meet, is only open until 7 pm.

 

Our next CCL Meeting will be on Thursday, November 6 from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at the La Madrid Restaurant at 1420 S. Blaine Street (on the west side of Eastside Marketplace) in Moscow.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby Meeting @ South Fork Public House
Dec 4 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm

The December meeting of our local chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby will be held next Thursday, December 4 beginning at 5:30 pm in the meeting room at South Fork Public House, 1680 S. Grand Avenue in Pullman. South Fork is located at the interior corner of the L-shaped Wheatland Shopping Center, which is conveniently located at the intersection of Bishop Blvd. and Grand Ave.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who has contributed to our chapter’s TutumuchCO2 campaign! Our fine chapter has reached 70% of its goal of $1,000, which will go to keep CCL growing and increasing its impact on Capitol Hill. If you would like to see world climate stabilized through enlightened public policy rather than extravagant geo-engineering projects like the one pictured above, please click here. Contributions are tax-deductible, and the IRS will pounce on anything not contributed by December 31.

We had a genial gathering and brain-storming session of members of our Newspapers and Media interest group last week at the Briggs-Lohr residence. We’ll be sharing our plans to boost CCL presence in our local media at our meeting next week.

Theme:  Fisheries, Farms and Forests:  Connecting with Concerned Harvesters.  [Link to the Conference website] The link provides information about speakers and agenda plus a link for online registration. It looks like a great program, and CCL conferences are very energizing for people who are concerned about climate but not sure how to become active and effective.
