Discussion regarding the May 3 Clean Cumberland Action Day
Agreed that more notice and advertisement is needed for a wider response.
3. Discussion regarding educational role of CCC. This is a continuation of the March CCC meeting discussion.
One of our goals is to provide resources and presentations on CCC member conservation topics.
Need to send a draft email to nights attendees prior to going to full CCC. Once we have about a dozen presentations available, then advertise to potential consuming organizations (e.g. clubs, schools). Become the County conservation education go-to place.
The next meeting will be at 6 pm on Monday, July 28 in the CCVB conference room.
