Tuolumne River Trust schedules Victory Party 12/12, RSVP if you plan to attend

November 18, 2008 -- Please join the Tuolumne River Trust for a celebration of our recent victory on Friday, December 12 from 6-8pm. Our address is 111 New Montgomery St, #205 in San Francisco. Please RSVP to Karyn Carr at karyn@tuolumne.org.

There's a good article about the Tuolumne River victory in this week's East Bay Express. You can view it at http://www.eastbayexpress.com/news/saving_the_tuolumne_river/Content?oid=863767

You can view the SFPUC resolution at http://www.tuolumne.org/content/fmd/files/2008%2010%2031%20SFPUC%20Resolution.pdf and our news release is available at http://www.tuolumne.org/content/fmd/files/2008%2010%2031%20WSIP%20Press%20Release.pdf

Now that we have a cap on water sales, we're all in the same boat, and the SFPUC and its customers need our support to reach their requirement to conserve and recycle an additional 20 million gallons of water per day. We'll keep you posted on this next phase of the campaign.

We're now creating curriculum for classrooms in the SFPUC service area emphasizing the importance of the Tuolumne River and what students can do to help protect it. We're looking for advisors, so if you're a teacher or someone interested in education, and are willing to help us, please contact Jessie Raeder at jessie@tuolumne.org.

Jessie asked me to thank all of you who helped with our Tuolumne River tap water station at last weekend's Green Festival. About 3,000 people visited the station, and we passed out 2,000 Tuolumne River stickers for people to put on their water bottles.

Thanks again for your support, and we hope to see you soon.
