I hope everyone is having a healthy, happy summer despite the doom
and gloom of climate change. Feel good about the fact that you’re
in an organization that is doing everything conceivably possible
to stabilize the climate. You might feel even better if you made the
move
to become more involved.
Ask yourself this question: Which environmental issue most interests
me? Is it Agriculture, Climate Change, Wildlife/Endangered Species,
Environmental Justice,
Human Health & Environment, Public Lands, Population, Rainforest, Recycling,
Water Quality, or Wetlands?
Once you’ve decided, then attend our Conservation
Committee meetings to
hear about each sub-committee's endeavors and sign on to "GET
ACTIVE" with
the one nearest & dearest your heart. Contact your Conservation Committee chairs for more information:
Dennis
Plank: 216-939-8229
Michael
Melampy: 440-826-2263
Another opportunity for involvement is our open Secretary position.
If you'd like to be more active in the group (and build your
resume!) by becoming our
new Secretary, contact Pat
McKenna at (248) 505-3550. Responsibilities
include responding to phone calls, taking minutes, and keeping track
of supplies.

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.
