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.

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.”
