I will be going, but don't think  I can 
car pool because I have another
meeting later that day.

Those who can't make it at the original
time of 12:30  to 2:30 p.m. might be 
interested in the  follow-up E-Mail below,
from UNAP.

SNA has long argued that the impact of a large institution like Miriam on 
the surrounding community must be examined and planned for. Possible health 
impacts from waste and emissions have been a longstanding source of 
concern. But, facts and standards for expectations have been lacking. This 
seminar would provide a framework for reasonably assessing whether Miriam 
may have any impacts on our health and what they might be.

If you breathe air in Summit, you probably have an interest in what floats 
down from the smokestack at our neighborhood's highest point. Give me a 
call if you are interested in carpooling to attend.
