Hi all, Monmouth County Friends of Clearwater is hosting the Clearwater Festival in Asbury Park this weekend. The festival includes environmental booths and organizations, lots of great music, activities and a variety of food. This year the keynote speaker will be Lois Gibbs, the famous Love Canal mom turned activist after finding out that her neighborhood was built on toxic waste. She is speaking on Saturday, August 16th at 3:30pm. Prior to the keynote, she will be part of an environmental justice roundtable at 1:30pm. The roundtable will be more intimate and interactive. Ed Dlugosz, coordinator of the festival, has asked me to encourage you to attend. The festival asks for a $10 donation at the door, $3 if you are a student or senior. Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful summer! Kerry The website for the festival is www.mcclearwater.org To read more about Lois Gibbs click on www.chej.org
