Save the Cove Picnic!

Monday, August 6
9 a.m.
Save the Cove picnic
Palmyra Cove Nature Park

Instead of a rally on Monday morning, we will have a revelry!
Call it a meet-and-greet, a BYOR (bring your own refreshments) picnic, or a brainstorming session.

Higher ups do not want us to hold a rally and we will respect their wishes - rumor has it that the bridge commission has sent a top attorney to Trenton to convince the DEP to change its plans to dump the dredge deposits on 22 acres of the park. Their meeting was today and now we'll wait to see what, if any, agreement has been reached.

In the meantime, people have been calling me all day to join our volunteer group, Cove Action Network (CAN). I hope everybody can make it to the park on Monday morning so we can exchange ideas in person and meet face-to-face. What would you like to see at the revelry on Monday morning? Here are some ideas:

1. A table to register new volunteers who wants to join Cove Action Network (CAN).

2. Refreshments - please bring your own bottles of water, snacks, etc.

3. LOTS AND LOTS of people! Bring your kids, their teachers, your friends, your neighbors, everybody you know!

In order to comply with our friends who work at PCNP, there will be no official rally (no yard signs, no protest chants (darn!), and no media). Although I was disappointed when I heard we weren't allowed to protest (especially because we had worked so hard to advertise it!), I think this is a great opportunity to turn a negative event into a positive one. All that positive energy is sure to work in our favor. Please let me know if you're coming!
