 The deadline for registration for the Friends of the Jordan "Young Friends" Summer youth program is being extended through Monday July 6. There are still plenty of spaces available for the sessions which run Tuesday and Friday for 3 weeks starting July 7. Sessions will be held at the Jordan River Watershed Center in East Jordan from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. You can find more information here along with registration forms or by contacting the instructor John Thompson at jdthomzoo@charter.net or at 231-222-0237. The cost is $5 per session or 6 sessions for $20. Scholarship funding is available for those who request it. We don't want anyone to feel they can't participate because of the cost.

The Alba injection well poses unacceptable risks to ground and surface water, and threatens to endanger some of the most beautiful and pristine rivers in our state. We all have a stake in this battle.
Please join with us and add your name to the attached resolution. Our most valuable and powerful resource in this fight is public opinion. We must keep the pressure on CMS, on the politicians and on the EPA and DEQ to clean up the waste at Bay Harbor and not risk spreading the contamination to other watersheds. We must let them know that the people, organizations, businesses, townships and councils in Northern Michigan are united in our desire to protect our natural resources and oppose this well.
Please make copies of this resolution and hand them out to your organizations, and send to your mailing lists.
 Together we can make a difference.

Thank you for your support.
Sincerely
John Richter
President, Friends of the Jordan and POWER coalition
