Subject: [cfgn] Earth Day...and Nonviolent Communication

Yes, this is probably a strange combination of messages, but here they are. Check these two websites:

www.wiscpsa.org Why? Because there are lots of wonderful things you can get through the Earth Day Online Auction through Wisconsin Partners for SustainAbility (dinner for 4 at Lombardino's or Dardenelles! Overnight stays at hotels and resorts, massages, non-toxic products, flowers…green stuff for community building) and the auction is only online until April 22.
