Helen, thanks for the comprehensive list.  Now THIS is a topic that
I think the MOS Conservation Chair should take on.  MOS should have
a policy statement in opposition to the idea of selling off public
lands and a membership-wide write-in campaign should be organized
through the chapters with some proposed language from the
Conservation Chair.

It sounds like the time to speak out is now!

Are you listening, Janet and Maureen????

Best,
Norm
