It’s been a busy couple of days, but I wanted to let folks know how the Step It Up event went.

I think we had about 40 people attend. For a Saturday afternoon event on a nice Spring day during school vacation, I was pleased by the participation that we got.

More importantly, Tom Conroy our State representative was able to attend part and field some questions. I think it was really good to get him engaged with the crowd on this issue. More importantly, he has also suggested holding a town meeting later in the year to focus on legislative issues related to the environment. So, definitely good stuff.

On a broader topic, I think it is really neat to go to the Step It Up website and look at the various pictures from different events. There were definitely some big events out there with some really nifty ideas on how to send a message.

I haven’t heard any tallies yet on the number of events nationwide or the approximate number of participants at those events; I think they are still waiting for organizers — like me — who haven’t yet submitted information about their events.

Anyway, it was a nifty event and I hope it helped raise some awareness.

If anyone else had the opportunity to participate in one of the events, would love to hear your thoughts or feedback.
