all scheduled for September 21 here in the Palouse Clearwater area. This
march, to take place along the Pullman-Moscow Chipman Trail, will

<h2 id="yui_3_16_0_1_1410998473997_27148" style class="">Specific Plans for our Walk</h2>
<p id="yui_3_16_0_1_1410998473997_27432" style class="">At last Sunday’s PESC meeting we firmed up plans for the walk. The
plan is to start in Pullman in the Quality Inn parking lot (actually in
front of dental building) at the start of Chipman Trail. After some
brief announcements we’ll start walking to Moscow. Then we plan a rally
in Moscow starting at 6 pm with invited speakers, tables for
environmental sustainability groups, and whatever food we can afford.
The co-op will be donating some food but it won’t be enough. We are
still working on the final location in Moscow. We are hoping it will be
on UI campus.</p>

<p id="yui_3_16_0_1_1410998473997_27076" style class="">Volunteers are needed at all stages – set up and take down in Pullman
(relatively minor in current plan), crosswalk guards during the walk,
medic anyone? and a “runner” – someone willing to run to this place or
that to cover last minute and unforeseen issues. We would also
appreciate one or more people providing a van for some shuttling and</p>
