Send news & tidbits to tess@riverwestcurrents.org

The winter of 2007- 2008 went on record as the snowiest of the century when 12.4 inches of snow fell from 6 am on Good Friday, March 21 until Saturday at 4 am. It’s the second highest total in Milwaukee with 96.9” – just behind the top spot of 109.8” in 1885-86.

All of the previous snow had just melted down when the city got socked again on the second day of Spring. If this keeps up, number one is just around the corner!

EarthPoets

Some people, when compelled to take action regarding a specific issue, will demonstrate or protest. Others, like the Earth Poets, take action with words.

On April 18 and 19 the Earth Poets will be joined by various musicians at the Urban Ecology Center and the Coffee House to address environmental issues, and call people to action through their poetry and lyrics.
