[Lisa R]

Hi to all Environmental Club 2009-2010 members,   I just wanted to pass this email [READ BELOW] along to all of you environmentalists. It is a great opportunity to get to know the ocean from a ecological view.   I hope everyone is gearing up for a great summer and I miss you all so much!   Take care, Lisa Ronning 253-2264   --- On Thu, 5/20/10, Kathy Gassaway <kgas...@swccd.edu> wrote: From: Kathy Gassaway <kgas...@swccd.edu> Subject: FW: Birch Aquarium: Snorkel The Seas!
