Dear Fellow Duner,
Saturday, 12/8, is one of the most important Desert Advisory Council meetings to date.
The management plan for the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area is on the fast track and it will be discussed at this DAC meeting. Capacity limits and curfews are hot topics in the management plan. We must make it clear that THESE OPTIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE since all other remedies have not yet been exhausted. Only as a last resort would we be willing to accept them, and then, only on a temporary as needed basis.
We need as many bodies there as possible. If we show apathy by not attending in record numbers, the BLM will not take us seriously and continue to operate as in the past. More importantly, if we do not make more of a statement than the Environmentalists, they will have a greater influence on the process than we - that is what got us where we are today.
Additionally, the NECO and NEMO Desert management plans will be discussed at great length. These plans will be used to manage most of the desert in California.

Meeting Date:
Saturday, December 8, 2001, 8:00 am
Location:
Southwest Performing Arts Theater,
Southwest High School
2001 Ocotillo Drive
El Centro, CA 92243
Right off the 8 at Imperial exit.

As usual, ASA, SDORC, CORVA, and etc. hats and shirts. Even if you don’t get up to speak, you’ve made an impact by showing our numbers.
Thank you for your support.
The ASA

Hmmm, decisions decisions...do I wear my ASA shirt or my Slappy shirt. I guess I can always wear the Slappy shirt with the ASA hat

Gotta make it obvious to those in power what side we're on.

And I know I'm going to be keeping my eye out for the guy looking over his shoulder watching for the men in white

Come on now Slappy, you know I won't be the only one who's got your back if the men in white show up! From what I hear the location for the meeting can hold about 1300 people. Based on how many people were visiting mom on T-day it shouldn't be too hard to have at least 1200 there watching for her and you at the same time!

Come on people - this one is serious, it's time to stand and be counted. You're not ashamed of being duners are you?

Someone please attend for me. Take your sister or something. I can't make it. The air fare is too high on quick notice. And my buddy with the plane is out of town. This is very serious. Lets show support. Peace and good luck!
