The Northeast Ohio Group is planning our public education/public outreach activities for 2006. We are looking for members who would like to staff tables at events
such as Earth Day Earthfest at the Zoo. This year's theme will most likely be climate change and its effect on wildlife habitat. Climate change is an issue that is
getting more exposure in the media and getting policy action around the world and even in several states. We can help move the agenda along with our outreach efforts.
With enough participation, we would like to extend our reach to events beyond the usual Earthfest, Sports Expo, and Hessler Street Fair that we attend. We would also
like volunteers to unleash their creative, computer, or management skills and contribute by calling other members, planning the event, and preparing outreach materials.
We could certainly use a person to take responsibility for our volunteer database. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact: Tom Pirko, 440-256-9242.

The City of Cleveland's 
Do you know of a local environmental issue in need
of attention? Do you have inside information on what's
going on in your city or township? With over 5,000
members in Northeast Ohio we count on you to be the
Club's eyes and ears of the region. While the Federal
government and large corporations continue to wreak
havoc on our environment, it is more important than
ever before to act as watchdogs in our own backyards.
For those new to
calling state or federal representatives, it's easier and
less confrontational than it sounds. You will never
speak directly with your rep or senator - an aide
will answer the phone, take brief notes plus your name and city (sometimes), and that's it.
