Rebekah Shrader, Greenfield representative (Linfield’s environment club), emailed Cool Mac to let us know that they are hosting events throughout the week of Earth Day and are kicking it off the previous Friday with a “Conservation through Community Walk.” They think it would be great if groups such as Cool Mac could let the community know about this event taking place on Friday, April 18. They will be meeting in front of Linfield’s Melrose Hall at 3:00. The walk will then go through the community with signs to help inform the public of the good impacts that come with conservation. They are hoping maybe some of us could help them make contact with the high schools and invite the students to join this march.

If you have any ideas to help them out at all, please contact Rebekah Shrader at rshrade@linfield.edu or Linda Grove at lgrove@onlinenw.com. Sounds like a great event to be a part of!
