NOTE THE CHANGE IN DATE!

The LWVVT annual Legislative Day will be held at the State House on Wednesday, February 22.

The day will begin with League-sponsored coffee in the State House cafeteria. This phase of the event will allow the League to have face-to-face conversations with our legislators and to bring our positions to their attention.

At 9:00 members will gather in Room 10, to get a rundown of bills under consideration, with an emphasis on those of particular interest to the League. Attendees will then be free to observe the House or Senate in action if they are in session, or to sit in on committee hearings on issues of interest if they are not. We will be watching for bills on health care, transportation funding and renewable energy. Since this is the second session of the biennium, there should be a lot going on.

Advance information about bills of interest will be posted on the state League website at http://www.lwvofvt.org.

Lunch will be on our own, in the cafeteria or in downtown Montpelier. You are encouraged to attend afternoon committee meetings.

This event is one of our most important and effective ways to increase the League's visibility in Vermont. Please contact your legislators and let them know that we will be in the State House cafeteria on February 22, and invite them to join us for coffee. Sponsored coffee service is a popular feature at the cafeteria, and you should have no difficulty convincing your legislators to join us.

Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.

Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?"

Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.
