Adding my comments to Steve's...
 
Some of you remember meetings over the past ten years as we lamented the
lack of interest and support from the highest levels of government.  In
fact, in some cases, I recall comments from some of you about the blatant
opposition to various trails from those with power and influence.  
 
We have an opportunity Wednesday to strengthen this new support for trails,
just by showing up for a few minutes and taking advantage of an opportunity
to speak first hand with the Governor. It won't be possible for everyone,
and for some the distance is just too much, but there are plenty of trail
folks nearby. I encourage those of you who can, to come.  Let him leave with
a lasting impression that trails are absolutely significant and an essential
component to all those "quality of life" aspects that everyone seems to
enjoy mentioning these days.  This is a chance for you to walk up to the
Governor, shake his hand and tell him how important trails are, and how much
you appreciate some support finally.  The best way to have a lasting impact
on his thinking is for trail advocates from every direction to come and tell
him.  Even if you don't get to say something, you can show him just by being
there.  He'll notice.  So will the press who will be along with him that
day.
 
The Summit on May 31st will have limited spaces and limited exposure for
individuals with the Governor.  This could be your best opportunity for
influence, whether you say anything at all or just be there.  
 
The issue is trails.  We all know we need them, the public wants them, and
we can do them in Indiana as well or better than anybody.  See you Wednesday
morning.

Importance: High
In confirmation of the message sent earlier by Kevin Heber, Governor Daniels
will be holding a press conference to announce an upcoming Indiana Trails
Plan Summit and to highlight the effort to develop a trail plan for Indiana.
The news conference will take place on Wednesday, April 26 at 10 AM along
the Vandalia Trail in Plainfield near the new aquatic center at 651 Vestal
Road.  The Vandalia Trail will be part of the cross-state National Road
Heritage Trail.
 
This is a public event.  It will be an unprecedented media opportunity to
show support for Governor Daniels' keen interest in advancing statewide
trail development.  We are trying to get as many people to attend to show
their support for trails in Indiana.  Please forward this notice to others
so that we can draw a big crowd.
 
Thanks and hope to see many of you on Wednesday!
