ONESQUETHAW-COEYMANS VALLEY ALMANAC

 


 

OCV ALMANAC

 

Newsletter of the Onesquethaw-Coeymans Valley Alliance

 

April 2008

 

This Almanac (newsletter) is produced by the OCV Alliance, and is being e-mailed to people and organizations who have interests within the watershed of the Onesquethaw-Coeymans Creek. If you do not wish to receive this Almanac, please contact Susan Morrison at susan1826@gmail.com or Roy Lamberton at  roymcl@aol.com.

 OCVA

The general mission of the OCVA will be to provide a forum for the exchange of information, generate interest in and awareness of other organization missions and goals, identify common interests and concerns, and facilitate networking of activists representing participating organizations.  The OCVA will not be an advocacy organization, but promote the exchange and awareness of objective information about the Valley.

 

To meet the mission, the OCVA will maintain an e-mail distribution list, develop a website for sharing news, and create a list of programs and recreational activities for joint use by the OCVA and participating organizations.

 

All interested organizations, businesses, and individuals within the Valley are welcome to send representatives to our meetings or request to receive our newsletter.  Please contact Roy Lamberton at roymcl@aol.com or 872-2217.
