GULF OF MEXICO GATHERING ON CAPE COD
 
Cape Cod residents will gather on Sunday night, August 29th, to acknowledge 
 the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.    The summer of 2010  has seen 
a series of environmental tragedies - including heat  waves, floods,  and 
droughts -  and their impact on coastal  communities will be discussed.
 
This event is sponsored by the Sierra Club's Cape Cod and Islands Group  
with support from community and faith groups.   The August 29th  gathering 
will take place at 7:00 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist church in  Falmouth.  
  The church is located at 840 Sandwich Road in  Falmouth.   The event is 
free and all people are invited.    The church office has additional 
information.   Telephone: (508)  457-0449.
 
A brief movie about the impact of the BP oil spill will be shown.
 
The possibility of sending a team of  volunteers to New Orleans to  assist 
with environmental justice work will be discussed.    The  national Sierra 
Club and various religious groups are involved in   environmental rescue 
programs in New Orleans and along the  Louisiana  coast.
