Due to last minute unexpected changes, and despite best of intentions of others, we have not able to locate a workable solution for this month's Midtown Brews. Tentatively rescheduled for May 2009. Check back to the News for updates.Thur, Dec 4, 2008/Webtego

Quality, Connected PlaceEnergyBruce Missig,
Environmental Specialist; Ann Siloy and Others

"Quality, Connected Places: Shrink Carbon Footprints with Water Efficiency" Making our area a safe and environmentally friendly to live in.
Go with the ideas of trying to get the chemicals out of our lives to make it safer for ourselves and safer for the environment. We should get a reporter from Green City Blue Lake there to do an article. Simple ideas that make big changes in our economy and improve the views of old that we are a dirty old city, becoming a city on the fore front of being sustainable.
