[Occupymendocino] Fw: [OPC] MRC CERTIFICATION MEETING IN CASPAR, August 25th, 7 p.m.

[Ann Rennacker]

This is an important meeting for our community, and I hope we pack the room and stop MRC from being certified "sustainable".  They refise tp stop "hack and squirt" and leaving dead trees in the forests, even in an epic drought with high fire danger.  Ann
