Thanks for this. In particular, we want to make sure folks know there’s a strategy session on fighting fracking both Thursday night and Saturday morning, and they have a second chance to see Lubbock-based Dr. Anne Epstein’s “A Medical Perspective on Fracking” presentation on Saturday afternoon. Y’all come.
