ALEC Update June 11 2009

Hi all,
Welcome to all new members, existing members and those who have recently renewed their membership for 2009-10.
Hope this finds you well.

Quick update: The World Environment Day Benefit Gig at the Lane Upstairs has been postponed until Fri June 19. (see details after key dates below).

Despite the launch being postponed, the Finke About It- No Alice U-mine Campaign was not postponed. Between a team of 5-7 of us, we handed out over 1000 flyers and 1500 stickers to punters at the Finke Desert Race. We were all surprised by the positive responses of about 8 out of 10 people we spoke to. Stickers are available at the ALEC office, see http://www.alec.org.au/eng/news/alec_news/finke_about_it for more details.

The Climate Action Group (CAG) is a finalist in the Power and Water Melaleuca Awards for Environmental Excellence. Last year, CAG produced a short film titled ‘Water in Alice’, the film gives great insight into where our water comes from, how we use it and how we can conserve it. Well done CAGgies and especially Ruth Apelt for producing the film. Winners will be announced next Wednesday night in Darwin. Good luck!
