The Northwest Environmental Education Council Presents:
"The Boys of Baraka"
This documentary reveals the human face of a tragic statistic — 61 percent of Baltimore's African-American boys fail to graduate from high school; 50 percent of them go on to jail.
The four young boys featured in "The Boys of Baraka," despite individual talents and considerable personal charms, cannot escape the common fate expressed by those options. But fate, as documented in this film, comes to them with a remarkable and fickle twist — an experimental boarding school in rural Kenya.

Our City Council needs us next Tuesday, July 8 at 7pm at the Council Chambers, 600 4th Ave, to lend our support to legislation that would ban styrofoam and create "green fees" for disposable bags.
Opponents to this legislation are speaking loudly. As a proponent of the ban and fee, I want to make sure I'm speaking loudly, too. So I will, at next week's public comment session.
Of course, you'll want to attend Greendrinks - but consider leaving early (by 6 or 6:30) to attend this important event. Details below in a cut/pasted email from Richard Conlin.
Thanks bunches!
