I hope you've been able to warm up a bit with this spring weather! My name is Charlotte Bilski and I am a volunteer with Food & Water Watch. I <font face="arial, sans-serif">wanted to thank you again for spreading the word about our Healthy Farms, Healthy Families campaign kick-off meeting a few months ago; it was a really successful event! Just a few weeks later, we were able to pass </font><b>the first city council resolution in the country</b> calling on federal regulations of the overuse of antibiotics, in part thanks to your help publicizing the campaign!<br>
<br>Right now we are working to get the word out about our Town Hall style-forum we are holding in a few weeks to talk more about the issue of antibiotic resistance and our work in Rhode Island. Can you pass this along to the Summit Neighborhood Association members or list and anyone else who might be interested? It would be great if you could cc me on the email you send so they can contact me with any questions!<br>
<br>We will be holding our forum on <b>Thursday, April 3rd from 7:00-8:30pm</b> at the First Unitarian Church in Providence (1 Benevolent Street) and we would love to invite you to join us! <a href="http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/Survey?ACTION_REQUIRED=URI_ACTION_USER_REQUESTS&SURVEY_ID=24442" target="_blank">You can rsvp here!<br>
</a><br>Thanks again for your help, and please let me know if you need any more information.<br><br>Hope to see you soon!<br><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">Best,<br></div>
