General Meeting - Local Candidate Platforms One way we can protect the Indian River Lagoon and our other waterways is to communicate to our elected representatives the importance of our ecosystems. We need healthy ecosystems for a sustainable and productive economy. With the 2018 elections fast-approaching, we have been asked to provide a platform for several candidates. We are a not-for-profit- nonpartisan 501(c)3 organization and thus can not endorse any candidate but can take this opportunity to ask candidates their views on the state of our environment in St. Lucie County and what their plans are, if elected. The candidates who will address us are: Nicole Haagenson, for Florida House in District 54 (Vero Beach area but also includes the northern part of St. Lucie County) Matt Theobald for Florida House District 83 Delores Hogan Johnson for Florida House District 84 (Ms. Hogan formerly served on the Board of the Conservation Alliance.) Dr. Rob Levy for Florida Senate District 25 Each candidate will be allotted 15 minutes and we will have time for Q&A. We ask that you invite others who would like to meet the candidates and learn about their approach to protecting our environment. Though all candidates may not be in your district, we understand now more than ever that all of our areas are connected, and thus we need to work together. The meeting will be at our usual meeting spot at SELF’s mini-auditorium in Fort Pierce. Please see address and directions at the right. July 27 & 28th - from 7:30 - 10:00 pm each night.
MOONLIGHT ACOUSTIC TOUR ON THE INDIAN RIVER LAGOON with Dr. Grant Gilmore, Ph.D. Nationally renowned fish scientist, locally revered fish whisperer. Details and ticket information at Moonlight Acoustic Tour Tab under Events. (http://www.conservationallianceslc.org/moonlight-acoustic-tour-of-the-irl.html) NOTE: There will be NO general Meeting in July. April 11th - Wednesday at 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
The Conservation Alliance is pleased to kick off our Issue Focus for 2018: The Health of Our Waterways at the SELF mini-auditorium. Address and directions on the right ---> We will begin with the inspirational and humorous TED talk video, “How I Fell in Love With a Fish.” This is a great example of a new paradigm that is ecologically-based, and from which we can make better decisions as we engage in our work of conservation and protection of our environment. Following that Wayne Mills will lead an informal discussion about his efforts to create legislation in Florida that will help fund projects to clean up and protect our Indian River Lagoon and other statewide estuaries. Wayne Mills was intimately involved with the very successful effort to clean up and protect Chesapeake Bay, and now wants to devote his attention to the urgent need to rescue the Lagoon and its tributaries from ecological ruin. He has been in conversation with Aliki Moncrief of Florida Conservation Voters and Cris Costello of Sierra Club Florida among a number of others, including the Alliance, as he is refining the proposed legislation. |
Directions to the Solar Energy Loan Fund Auditorium (where most general meetings are held).
