Is anyone driving to Little Rock for the Nov 15-18th trails symposium and
has room for one passenger or who would like to ride with someone and share
the cost?  Is any woman looking for a roommate during the meeting?
One of our board members wants to go but needs to cut the cost.

Across the country and right next door, private and public partnerships are

With corridors in place for a regional trail network, the Chicago Southland

experts how we can move forward into an era of trail-based Triple Bottom
Line development.

Join us in exploring a new path forward for the Southland region!

Ron directs the Greenways Foundation [ http://www.indygreenways.org/ ], an
Indiana-based foundation that develops trail infrastructure through
community development partnerships.

Subject: [IndianaTrails] CANAL UPDATE -- late summer newsletter
Message-ID: <00c301c906c0$73306a10$7701a8c0@CanalCenter.local>

 

Summer's end is near.  Our canal successes in the last season are evident.
Fall and winter will bring us even more as we continue the assembly of our
"DREAM" (a replica canal boat and its storage space--the 1850s looking
warehouse) shown in the birdseye view.

 

Check out the attached CURRENTS newsletter file for details.  I'm off in two
weeks to the World Canals Conference in Ontario and to visit the company in
Albany, NY that will be building our aluminum hulled canal boat.    DAN
