Passing On A Rememberance

This is the day I remembered
having traveled the Distance,
having reached the Far and Wide.

The Long Road to Everywhere,
the beginning of a Rememberance,
the building of our Togetherness.

We do it as Friends, as Family, as a Community working the Dream, a steady stream of Blessings

William McDonnough at the Global Forum on Water

April 1, 2004 at 7pm

On April 1, 7 pm at the Menil, an innovative architect and sustainability pioneer named William McDonnough is going to be the keynote speaker at the Global Forum on Water (April 1-4). The event is free of charge, but registration is required. I anticipate that his speech, in particular, will fill up quickly.

I encourage you to attend his presentation if you are interested in hearing from someone who is working hard for a sustainable future -- in a big way -- and making a big difference through his work. You may want to check him (and his books) out on the internet if you are not familiar with his work.

To register, go to: HTTP://WWW.FOTOFEST.ORG to register online.

Click on FOTOFEST 2004-WATER, then CALENDAR OF EVENTS, then FORUM ON WATER, ART & SCIENCE.

You can register for the one event (McDonnough) or all 4 events.
