Dear NAPPC Partners and Pollinator Friends:
Attached (and embedded below) is the invitation to the Congressional
Briefing we are planning as part of National Pollinator Week.
* Please feel free to attend and to bring your colleagues and
friends
* Forward the invitation to anyone who would benefit from or
appreciate this discussion
Please note the wonderful Members of Congress who have agreed to be listed
as Honorary Hosts - from all parts of the US and with both Republican and
Democratic support, we are garnering enthusiasm for pollinator friendly
practices. Congratulations to all for making this international week of
attention to pollinator issues such a success. See you at the briefing!
Best regards,
Laurie
