Hi Lanny,

Here's an email from Alison Prost, CBF's new Maryland Executive Director. I
met her last week and she is very dynamic indeed and will do well in
guiding CBF's Maryland programs.

This is something the Alberg 30 Association may want to get involved in -
both participating in the Clean Water, Healthy Families campaign and the
Lobby Night in Annapolis on March 5th. The Alison's email below includes
links to both items. We can discuss more on Saturday, but thought there's
no time like the present to get started. Feel free to distribute the email
to your members.

See you on Saturday at 12:30.

Brian

Clean water is a right not a privilege - but not one we can take for
granted. Can you join us on Monday, March 5th at 5:00 p.m. to talk with
your elected representatives in Annapolis about critical clean water
legislation?****

The Clean Water, Healthy Families
campaign<http://www.cleanwaterhealthyfamilies.org/>is hosting an
Environmental Lobby Night to help pass important legislation
to clean our waters and we need your help. You don't need to be an
expert. Legislators *want* to hear from their constituents. If you want to
help protect our water, please join us on March 5th for our Lobby Night in
Annapolis.   ****

All you need to do is be there and tell your representatives * why clean
water is important to you* – maybe you are concerned about not being able
to swim after a rain event, or that you don’t fish as often because you are
worried about consuming contaminated fish, or that you have seen a decrease
in visitors to your local business because the Bay is no longer the same
tourism lure that it once was.  Whatever the reason, they need to hear it
directly from you.****

We will make an appointment with your representatives, brief you on the
issues, and provide materials and talking points to use during your
meeting. This is democracy in action, so please join us. ****

WHEN: Monday, March 5th, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm (or however long you can stay)***
*

WHERE: Miller Senate Building, 2nd Floor East, Annapolis, MD (See
Map)<http://mapq.st/wDulUu>
****

To RSVP, click here. <http://www.mdlobbynight.com> Can't make it but still
want to lobby? Use the RSVP form to let us know and we'll help find a time
for you to come to Annapolis and get involved.****

Bring a friend and help us spread the word by forwarding this to those
friends, family, and organizations you think would be interested.****

See you in Annapolis on the 5th.****
