[John Kontekakis - SASEA Secretary]

Dear SASEA members and friends,
When a new waste incinerator is built, it affects an entire area, not
just the town it's in. If you live in the Pioneer Valley, please take
the time to review the material below and consider attending the
meeting this coming Monday. If you can't make it, please consider
commenting. Follow the link below to the main page.

Thank you,
John Kontekakis - SASEA Secretary
