Greens Gathering - ASAP

We would love more people to get involved in the Greens in Alice Springs and for more people to be informed about issues affecting life in Central Australia. To encourage this we have decided to have a Green gathering every second month on the second Sunday of the month. This will be a social event with a time to meet other Greens members and learn more about a particular issue.

The first one will be happening this Sunday (12th October):
Date: Sunday 12 October
Time: 5pm - 6pm
Venue: Telegraph Station
Focus Issue: Angela-Pamela exploration license - what happens now?
What to bring: drinks/snacks to eat and share, something to sit on
Kids, friends, non-members VERY welcome.
Hope to see you there!
Lisa Hall on behalf of the Alice Springs Greens
