Good day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very important to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site. Could you please get back to me on my private email(a.pierre63@yahoo.com) if you dont mind ?
Have a nice day and God bless you,
pierre
Greetings to you, My name is Emmanuel, I am worried because I have not heard from you, I hope you received my previous message I sent you a few days ago? through this email, please answer me now through this mail (emmadoody44@gmail.com)
Hi Kari,
If you also have an interest in school gardening as a way to get kids outside, re-connect with nature and develop healthier life-style habits - please see

I've just been asked to create an "International C&NN Connect" group so please do stop by and say hello there. It will provide a place for people to share news, views, ideas and activities from all over the world http://childrenandnature.ning.com/group/internationalcnnconnect
Oh yes...and the Scotland group welcomes members from all over the world too. It will give you a wee insight into what's happening in this country about children and nature.
Best wishes

I do hope you can make to Anchorage to visit your family someday...if you do, I'm just 250 miles down the highway (not exactly close by, but a gorgeous road trip through the mountains). You might tell your family in Anchorage that Martin LeBlanc is speaking to the general public there about the health benefits of kids playing outdoors this week - Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7pm at the Spenard Recreation Center. It'll be a great presentation and they're going to make trail mix and have awesome door prizes from REI. He'll be in Alaska all week and doing presentations here in Homer and also in Fairbanks. Can't wait! Cheers, Carmen
I just thought I'd drop by and say hello as I used to live in Ontario and work at one of outdoor centres that serves TDSB. I hope all's well in Toronto and the Mountain Equipment Coop is going from strength to strength - I still have gear I bought there 13 years ago!
Best wishes
Juliet
