Downtown Green Bay Values Your Feedback!

The Downtown Green Bay Business Development Committee invites you to share your feedback on multiple issues surrounding downtown development and culture through a brief online survey. The survey is open to area residents, employees or visitors who would like to share their views about the present and future of downtown Green Bay.

The survey is open from July 29th through August 18th with results shared in early September. The committee believes the survey will help downtown planners and developers make sound decisions about the Green Bay market. It will also help cultural leaders strategize areas of opportunities with events and family activities. Please note your individual responses will be kept confidential but the overall results will be publicized.

To take the survey, please link to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=a7Y5WTyITDR5a1Jkvy2d9Q_3d_3d

Thank you for your participation!

July 23 - WLCV Celebration in Green Bay!

YOU ARE INVITED to join fellow conservationists in Green Bay to celebrate the conservation successes of the 2007-08 legislative session, AND to personally thank area legislators that made the Conservation Honor Roll.

The Conservation Scorecard 2007-2008 will be released Wednesday, July 16th in Madison. The Conservation Scorecard is the guide to how Wisconsin state legislators voted on key conservation issues during the 2007-2008 legislative session.

The goal of the Scorecard is to provide objective, factual information about the voting records of Wisconsin's state Senators and Representatives. The Scorecard is designed to provide voters with the information necessary to distinguish true stewards of Wisconsin's environment from those who just talk about it (read more here). We don't want to give anything away before the 16th, but we can say this: There is much to celebrate this year!

Mark your calendars NOW for Wednesday, July 23, 2008, and join us at Titletown Brewing Company, 200 Dousman St, Green Bay.

The short program begins at 6:30 pm and includes recognizing key area legislators for their work. Be there to receive your copy of the Scorecard and to personally thank:

• Conservation Champions--Conservation Champions are those legislators that scored a perfect 100% on the Scorecard.
  
  
• Conservation Honor Roll--The Conservation Honor Roll recognizes those legislators that went the extra mile to conserve Wisconsin's natural resources.

Join us for appetizers upstairs at Titletown--on the corner of Dousman and Broadway--on Wednesday, July 23, from 6-8 pm.

To make planning easier, please RSVP to Kim Biedermann at kim@conservationvoters.org or at (920) 429-9008.

See you on the 23rd!
