Two Meetings Monday Evening
April 3rd, 2009 Posted by Larry Hogue in Sunrise Powerlink, off-road vehiclesActivists in extreme southern California will have a hard time choosing between two meetings this coming Monday evening, April 6.
The new East County Community Action Coalition (ECCAC) is hosting a townhall meeting on the Sunrise Powerlink at 6 p.m. in Alpine at the Alpine Community Center. Organizers hope 1000 people will attend.
The Keynote Speaker is Supervisor Dianne Jacob, and Engineer Bill Powers, UCAN’s Michael Shames and activist David Hogan are also expected to speak. Should be the biggest meeting on the Sunrise Powerlink since last spring — hope everyone can turn out. Info about the meeting is available at the ECCAC website and in East County Magazine.
If off-road vehicles are your concern, another meeting in Imperial County might suit you better. DPC advisory board member George Wuerthner will be speaking at Imperial Valley College on the subject of his book, Thrillcraft: The Environmental Consequences of Motorized Recreation.
WHEN: Monday, April 6, at 6PM
WHERE: Imperial Valley College, 380 E. Aten Road Imperial CA 92251(Between Highways 86 and 111)
Building 500 Room 504 — Lots of Free Parking
