Greetings Sierrans and Colleagues! A great opportunity to improve your communication skills via the media so we cal all get our message through to the public and public policy-makers in a stronger way is available to us! Nat Garrett, Sierra Club's Field Media Specialist, will be in Des Moines to conduct a SC Media Training. Sierrans who have been through the training, including Kendra, say it is excellent! The training will be 9:00 to 5:00, on Saturday July 19th, and will take place at the Audubon Center at Saylorville Lake. It is free to invitees, and I would love for you to participate. It will include all aspects of media training from recognizing opportunities for message to actual work before a camera. As a spokesperson on important environmental issues today, especially Energy and CAFOs, I wanted to offer you this opportunity. The training will be limited to no more than 20 persons, so please let me know of your interest. I believe it will help to make us all more effective in our ability to punch our messages through on important environmental issues. Please let me know by July 13th if you can plan to attend. Thanks! I do look forward to having you there! Call or email me with any queries. So far, we have 10 people signe up! [NOTE to Sierra Group Leaders -- If you have another Group member, e.g. a Conservation Chair, who should attend, invite them and let me know. Thanks.] Lyle Krewson Lyle R.
