“View and Chew”

We qualified for the Working Films and Clif Bar offer “View and Chew”. We received the toxic comedy "Everything’s Cool" Activist DVD, which we can preview at the sign-making meeting and plan a full screening, and 2 boxes of Clif bars (maple nut Clif and fruit/nut Mojo if you must know) for refreshments. Plus our great local water - not everyone can live upstream, but we do!
