[Kathie Brosemer <kathie@cleannorth.org>]

to discuss, next CN meeting:


Hello,

      Lake Superior is one of the worlds biggest and most unusual lakes 
and therefore deserves special attention and protection. Do you know of 
someone whose efforts to protect or restore the basins natural environment 
are truly 'superior'? If so, help make others in the basin aware of their 
contributions by nominating them for a binational awards program in the US 
and Canada.

The nomination period for the awards is now open; deadline for completed 
applications is Friday, April 15, 2005. Applications may be completed by 
the nominee (self-nominated) or by making a nomination on anothers behalf. 
Members of the Lake Superior Work Group and the Lake Superior Binational 
Forum, two groups of American and Canadian citizens and agency staff 
working together to protect and restore the lakes natural environment, 
will review each nomination and select winners from five categories from 
each country.

            Recipients will be chosen and notified by May 10.  Each winner 
will receive a commemorative award and framed certificate.

            A full nomination packet is attached. You can also download a 
nomination form on the Forum's web site:

"Water is life, and the quality of water determines the quality of life."

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into
the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will
happen.  There will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will be
taught to fly.
