Take a day -- just one day -- to help save the Mokelumne River

 

October 5, 2009 -- Join your friends and neighbors on a bus trip to Oakland on Tuesday, October 13 to stop East Bay MUD's plan to expand Pardee Reservoir. 
 
If you don’t live near Jackson or can't take the bus please join us at EBMUD headquarters anyway! 375  11th Street  Oakland CA 94607

EBMUD will make a decision on its long-range water plan that day at 1:15 pm.
The EBMUD directors need to see your face in the fancy EBMUD "Water Palace" to remind them that their decision will affect us and the river we love: real people and real places -- and the real wildlife and fish they support. We want to pack that room just like we filled the hearings up here. 

Please join us on the bus to Oakland for the meeting. We will leave from Jackson that morning in time to reach Oakland for lunch and a rally. We may not return until late afternoon or early evening, depending on how long the meeting takes. 

Sign up now by calling Randy at 209-295-4900 or e-mailing randy@foothillconservancy.org . We need to have a number of people sign up ASAP to make this work. Please consider a $5 - $10 donation to help us pay for the bus. (buses aren't cheap). 

We know Tuesday is a work day, but isn't it worth taking a day of vacation to protect this special place?

EBMUD has rejected other water options in favor of flooding our river in the future. We can't let it happen!

You won't have to speak at the meeting, but if you'd like to say something, plan for something snappy you can say in three minutes. 

Be creative -- we need to make this fun, highly visual, and attention-getting.

We'll have some signs and buttons on the bus, and encourage you to bring your own signs (no sticks, please, and no profanity), wear your river gear (fishing, paddling, etc), bring river-related images, photos of your family on the river, etc. 

It's Halloween season, so vampire gear is easy to get (the river is OUR lifeblood), as are other costumes. 

If you'd like to help make signs, paint a portable backdrop of the river, decorate cool paper salmon hats, make calls, or do anything else to help prepare, please let Randy know (295-4900, randy@foothillconservancy.org).
 
If you don’t live near Jackson or can't take the bus please join us at EBMUD headquarters anyway! 
1:15 pm at  375 11th Street  Oakland CA 94607

Together, we can save our river.
