The program (4:00-6:00 pm + potluck) at the RS Environmental Cottage (3449 W River Rd, Grand Island) will feature a presentation and discussion of 3 Island-related issues:
1)  A presentation by David Reilly and Nicole Gerber on an environmental plan for Grand Island (wildlife and habitat protection, ecotourism, recreational trails, greenspace preservation, responsible agriculture and farmer’s markets, etc.).
2)  A presentation on a proposed “solarization” campaign for Grand Island residents and businesses—planning has just begun; we can discuss what role our local churches might play in this program.
3)  A brief update on a proposal by Loves Truck Stop corporation to construct a facility in the median near Whitehaven and the 190 Thruway—a brief discussion of the hazards this facility would pose for Island residents.
Please join us for this very full & promising afternoon!
