LEE CREEK is UP (for grabs still)

[OzarkTom]

Folks, especially all my fellow NW Chapter members, we need your presence this evening. Numbers speak loudly on issues like this and it is our responsibility to protect our local creek from this threat. Even if you don't want to say a word while you are there, just letting these interests know how many people they are up against is still worthwhile.

Last night in Alma we didn't get to speak publicly, but it is still of great value to fill out the comment forms and speak your thoughts to the court reporter who will transcribe and file them.

Every time the creek comes up, the parking lot there is full of our vehicles. I see no reason why we can't do the same tonight at this meeting to help save our local run.

Dave Robertson had a good idea I think. Since we don't get to speak publicly, perhaps some identifyng clothing, buttons or such so the folks signing you in at the door are aware of your lack of support for flooding the valley with a dam. We did this a few years ago when the West Fork of the White was at risk from a proposed land fill and it said a lot to see a large room full of folks each wearing a small tag that identified their position. By the way, we won that one!

Come out tonight and just be there to support this.

The meeting is tonight (10/27) from 6-8 pm, and as Debbie mentioned earlier,
any time you show or leave during that time is fine, just show up.

Here is the location again:


Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks
Carl Totemier Center

Shameless bump. If could be there, I'd be rounding folks up for this. I've been at every one of these I could, and spoken at two of them. Keep up the good fight my friends.

I'm going to try and make it, but the child yet to be demands that I be there for meetings and classes. I'll try to at least make an appearance.

Tom, I apologize in advance because I can’t make this.

I’m at the end of my time off and I just can’t get myself ready to go back to work and this too. I’m within “striking distance” of Alma and Fayetteville. For the record, I am behind our efforts all the way, but it is frustrating for me due to the timing and that I can’t make this effort.

Some years ago I lived in Fayetteville, Eureka Sprangs, and even Burrville! Guess my Heart never really left!

But I would like to just say that this is a most worthy fight, and one that, at least in my opinion, has to be won. It is just not within my rather limited ability to conceive the loss damming this creek would cause.

I would just like to thank everyone for doing the right, and really, only thing. My Heart Soars knowing that I am a member in an organization of this caliber.

I hope the crowd of like-minded fills the venue to capacity and is standing around outside in the parking lot in support.

I just want to say sorry that i will not be making this meeting. I don't know if I ate something bad at lunch or what, but I feel like "crap". Please, everyone in the NW area attend.
We need numbers!

no problem if you can't make it as they will accept written comments until Nov. 30.
