-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Paul's note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUST-MAR! Today is the second anniversary of sust-mar becoming a moderated list. We then had ~70 subscribers. Today we have 263, incl 40 who receive a twice-monthly "digest." Please consider helping sust-mar by making a financial donation to CCN or to sust-mar directly. Donations to sust-mar will be used to order more "Sustainability" cards advertising the list. My informal survey showed that many of you joined b/c of the cards ... sust-mar is now out of cards and out of money. RSVP if you'll contribute. pfalvo@chebucto.ns.ca -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Join members of EAC's Hemlock Circus & Santa Claus as he presents DNR with a unique gift. Santa, his reindeer, elves and carolers will meet outside the DNR office buildings on Hollis Street at 11 am on Tuesday. Help send a message to government that Nova Scotians are not happy with the current clearcutting practices in our province. For more information contact Mark at acepa@altavista.com or Veronica at the NSEN office.

(The stump, by the way, is done--it's on a rolling platform about 2'x2' with "snow" and battery-operated lights. It looks great.) We get into the lobby and try to get up to DNR. Meanwhile, we're singing and get our media coverage in the lobby. If we don't get to DNR, that's OK. At least we should get someone to come down to accept their tree. > > You songs sound great (if that's the right way to put it, since I haven't actually heard them). > > Kermit will fill you in a little better tomorrow. I won't be there. I'll be riding through Annapolis Royal on a fire trunk throwing candy canes. > > By the way, I'm doing my Santa thing on the back page of yesterday's Herald in an Annapolis Royal Xmas ad.
