The Rivers Coalition meeting is Thursday, October 27th at 11:00 am at Stuart City Hall. The meeting is open to the public and there is plenty of free parking available. Coffee and doughnuts will be provided.
The presentation topic for the October meeting is:
"2016 River in Review"
We will follow the timeline of this year’s Lake O Discharges through the eyes of Blogging and the use of Social Media. Jacqui Thurlow Lippisch and other Rivers Coalition members will share the importance and the role that “social media” plays in “Taking Charge of our Future”. Please join in the discussion! The Rivers Coalition would like your input and ideas about this year’s historical events and how we can stay committed to STOPPING THE DISCHARGES!
Get the facts! Stay informed! Be involved!
