Dear Friends,
Again I would like to encourage you to testify before the Special Committee on State Trails Policy, Chaired by Senator Roger Breske. This committee has the power to make laws governing ATV and other state trails. Let me know if you can testify and I will send all the names together to Beth Piliorus, Roger Breske's secretary. You will only be given 5 minutes to speak.
November 10th, Friday at 10:00 AM
Merrill City Hall
1004 East First STreet
Merrill Wisconsin
So far these people have agreed to testify: Norm Poulton(ECCOLA), Jerry Woolpy, Al Eschenbauch, June Schmaal, Sue Drum and Alan Drum.
If you don't wish to testify, please plan to attend. We need many warm bodies to wear green ribbons as a show of force for silent sport and nature lovers.
Molly Hegeman in Boulder Junction has been selling green ribbons at her gift shop, Homestead, as a silent sport symbol to show merchants that this group is an economic force. Molly presented her idea on Channel 12 TV. I will ask her to make ribbons for us and hope that you can round up enough friends, at least 50 of us, to make a strong statement to the Trails Committee. See my attached rough draft of my testimony to see how I would like to use you.
Please come and bring friends who support silent sports and the preservation of nature. I will supply the green ribbons.
