You are invited to the Sierra Club Canada Grassroots Summit August 31, 2008

Sierra Club Canada is planning a very special event for August which will provide the opportunity for many of us—volunteers and staff—to gather as a family and talk. Sierra Club needs one-club dialogue, training and planning so that we can strengthen our grassroots as much as possible. The event’s objectives are to:

* Share successes and develop effective campaigns
* Benefit from mentoring opportunities
* Evaluate best practices, and plan strategically together
* Capitalize on regional and national opportunities such as our “Cool Cities” program
* Get some much-needed training
* Have some fun

Sunday August 31 - Wednesday September 3, 2008

Location: The Haven Institute for Professional Training, Seminar and Conference Centre, Gabriola Island, BC

Type of accommodation: Combination of indoor rooms, student rooms, suites and semi-private suites, with camping facilities available (about 50% indoor, and 50% camping).

If you are an active volunteer with Sierra Club Canada – or would like to be – this event is for you! Join us, and learn what makes Sierra Club the effective organization that it is, and how you can help. This offer is open only to members in good standing, and there are limited spaces available.
