First Go Green Northbrook Membership Gathering

The first official meeting of the Go Green Membership convened last night from 7 to 9 PM before a full house at the Chamber of Commerce. Approximately one third of those who have expressed an interest in Go Green Northbrook activities were on hand to hear how much has been planned and what's currently underway in the recently formed organization.  

Facilitator for the evening was Doug Gerleman, GGN's founding father. He introduced the group to several of the active GGN teams [see side bar], along with their Go Green Champions -- the volunteers who have stepped up to provide each of those teams with leadership. During the question and answer period following the presentations, a local arborist offered to lead a forestry team, after pointing out the critical loss of tree canopy throughout the area, in large part because of insects, fungus, and changing climate. 

Portions of the meeting were videotaped and we hope to have YouTube links available shortly. For starters you can watch the evening's introduction.
