Open Spaces Preservation

Guess what? A referendum on the November ballot proposes the purchase for preservation of 500 acres of Middletown farmland, at the coast of $2 million...

But what does this mean, you ask? Why is this important?
These questions will remain mysterious unless you come to the talk about it this Friday at the CCP (Center for Community Partnerships). Bill Warner (Middletown's Director for Planning, Conservation and Economic Development) and Katchen Coley (a Conservation Commission Commissioner) will be conversing with interested parties such as yourselves.

THIS FRIDAY, 10/5
4:30
167 High St. (at the corner of Church and High)

I can't find an email for anyone- But can someone email me {turtlebella [at] hotmail [dot] com} with anything an alum can do to help in campaign to ensure, as Barry put very eloquently below, that Wesleyan is leading "the pack by making real progress in changing facilities, behaviors and social norms." If signing the Commitment is a step in that direction, I am happy to support it, as long as there is accountability after the signing. I'm already writing to the President but am also hopefully meeting with someone from the University Relations in December (when I will be in CT for the holidays). I really believe that Wes needs to move forward on these issues and am willing to add my voice alongside yours.
