* We hope to see you in Paris, Texas on Friday, August 10th at 9 a.m., for Julia Trigg Crawford’s VERY important trial with TransCanada. If you want to ride with folks, please use the comments section below to hook up with others who may be coming in from across Texas.
* If you live in or near Bastrop, I hope to see you a fun and entertaining charity event for a local alternative school — the Bastrop Academy — on Sunday, August 5th. (Feel free to purchase a ticket or two — only $10 — to help out, and it’s tax deductible.)
* Last, there’s a very important water hearing in Milano that Environmental Stewardship is asking us to attend related to a 25,000 acre feet per year permit for which Alcoa has applied. Read all about it here.
