August/September, 2008 Earth Voyager Trimaran Coming to SSYC on August 14 byDaveWehnes or nearly four years the Healing Our Waters -Great Lakes Coalition has been working to ensure Restoration of the Great Lakes. The 2008 summer Fcampaign has taken on a very public face with the Healthy Lakes, Healthy Lives Tour, as the amazing 60' trimaran. Earth Voyager - the fastest sailing vessel on the Great Lakes - provides a media backdrop for events in 13 cities around the Lakes. This public awareness campaign was launched with the support of the Wege Foundation and Peter Wege, a Michigan philanthropist and former CEO of Steelcase Inc. In May 2004, the Foundation helped to convene a meeting COMPASS of more than 70 leading environmentalists, ecologists, scientists and academicians. During the two-day summit, these leading conservationists worked together to outline a plan for restoring and protecting America's greatest freshwater resource, the Great Lakes. That conference and the ensuing report that came out of it—"Healing Our Waters: An Agenda for Great Lakes Restoration"— provided the inspiration to form a coalition whose mission was to push for a comprehensive plan to restore the Great Lakes and the federal funding needed to implement it. Earth Voyager will arrive in Milwaukee on August 12 or 13 and will be at SSYC for a morning reception on Thursday, August 14. The reception will begin at 8:30 AM and will conclude with a mid-morning press conference. While seating is limited, all SSYC members are invited to attend. Reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact [email protected] to make your reservation, u^.
