[Peace] On the eve of the Global Climate Change Strike, we have GLAD news.

[Susan Parenti]

Dear friend,

I hope you are as well as can be.

We have good news—those of us who attempted to save the 175 Canada geese in
our park in June—and failed to do so—are turning that experience into a new
organization: a community non profit we're calling F.O.G. (Friends of
Geese!) Its mission is to support and protect the Grand Canada Geese by
educating and involving people in the community to learn how—in a hands-on
way—to do so.

We invite you to celebrate with us, in our ribbon-cutting event, on
Saturday, Oct. 3, 2-3pm. Can you attend? It will be both a Zoom event, as
well as 'come-in-person-to a safe-and-fun-outdoor-commemoration' at my
house at 122 Franklin Street. There will be speeches (here here!) and geese
music (hear hear!), the unveiling of a commemorative plaque (huh?) , as
well as the introduction of two F.O.G.ers (humans) who have agreed to run
for Urbana Park District's Board of Commissioners in March (yipes!).

Please save the date. And let us know if you can attend.

*In another email we will invite you to sign up for our 'Geese-Herders 101'
educational classes in October and November, which will be free and in both
hands-on and virtual form. *


*We'll be glad to work with a Geese-Herding Kids group for those youngsters
who want to interact with, and cherish, wild-life beings. *

The wild geese call to us! Glad tidings!
