Mr. Martin -
Thank you for inviting Mike Dupree and myself to your meeting.  We enjoyed ourselves and hope that you got something out of our presentation.
If you could provide your members with the information about our Resource Conservation Workshop


NC Resource Conservation Workshop : Weeklong camp for high school students interested in conservation and natural resources. Students will spend the week at NCSU learning about a wide range of conservation areas of study for college and careers for after graduation. *Scholarships available for student delegates* For information on the RCW and an application to be a student delegate from Durham County please click on the link below;

Hi Danielle,
It was nice talking to you at the candidates forum.  
I would like to invite you speak to our next  INC meeting, Tuesday, April 24 at 7 p.m.  We were specifically interested in hearing about stormwater drainage issues in Durham (like the sinkholes throughout Cleveland Holloway and the trenches being made of our intermittent streams that have been turned into storm drains).  We were also interested in inviting Mike Dupree to talk about  two county programs that are being offered now in order to address stormwater runoff.  I gather that at least one of these programs reimburses (in part) private property owners for doing things like installing rain gardens.  


I hope that these talks would complement each other,
 but I'm a complete ignoramus about these issues, I don't know.
So:  two questions.  Can you come, and do you think these two presentations would go well together?


Thanks.
John Martin, PresidentInterNeighborhood Council of Durham
