I am forwarding this message from Ross Harrison with the schedule of the 
REAP meetings. Sorry I didn't send it out early enough for the first few 
meetings.

Please try to attend your local meeting and have input about this important 
funding program.
Thanks,
Jane Clark

Fall REAP Assembly Schedule

The Resources Enhancement and Protection (REAP) Congress in 2006 asked that
REAP Assemblies be changed from winter/spring to the fall season.  Here you
will find the schedule for the assemblies that started in early September.

Note that in five of the assemblies, a REAP tour is being planned in advance
of the 7 to 9 pm meeting. Arrangements are still developing, but the idea is
to tour several REAP projects by bus or van from mid-afternoon to 6 pm, then
provide a free meal at the site of the assembly. More information will be
forthcoming.

Help support REAP by spreading the word to generate high attendance at an
assembly near you. You will enjoy the evening and have the opportunity to
improve REAP for more Iowans.

Please note that with the assemblies in the fall, the next REAP Congress has
been set for Saturday, January 5 with an ice/snow date of Saturday January 
12.
