Inauguration night
A happy crowd filled the Victorian Room at the Outlook Inn last night to celebrate both the inauguration of President Barack Obama and the recognition awarded Orcas resident Sharon Abreu and her environmental organization, Irthlingz, for submitting a National Strategy for Sustainability, which ranked in the Top Ten proposals on Change.org this past week in its Ideas competition. Over 7,800 proposals were submitted.
The plan can be viewed at www.citnet.org/leadership/documents/_Wheeler_NatlStrategy2.doc and the award announcement can be seen at www.change.org/ideas.
Irthlingz can be accessed online at www.irthlingz.org.
Abreu says public support of the National Strategy should contact their legislators.
