Calendar
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.
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.
This month’s meeting will take place at a private residence. Please contact Rob Briggs at palouseregion@
If you haven’t yet been to a CCL chapter meeting, this would be a great one to attend–free food, free drink, and the chance to take what Dr. James Hansen calls, “the most effective step you can take to save creation for your grandchildren.”
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.
Winter Market: WIRT information table with donation envelopes and the Paradise Ridge Defense Coalition petition for Highway 95 safety measures, on the 1912 Center Plaza if weather permits.
Please mark your calendar for the next Palouse Region Citizens’ Climate Lobby meeting on Thursday, March 12, 5:30 – 7:00 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse “Yellow House” immediately west of the church at 420 E. 2nd St. Moscow, ID. We will be providing pizza. (The meeting is being held one week later than normal due to the regional CCL conference on March 7 & 8 in Seattle.)
