From out good friend Len Duhl in California comes
this annoucement. Please excuse any cross postings
I think is the common expression, right?
If any of my Healthy City/Community friends and colleagues
out in cyberspace are planning on attending the event, I would
love to know in case a Canadian delegation can be organized.
Greece sounds good to me...if only time and money weren't
realities. Perhaps we could send a little something from
Canada ?
