Welcome new Earth Flag team
Saturday September 13, 2008 By Stephen Lyn Bales Earth Flag works with over 70 local schools on recycling and other "green" programs to raise awareness of sustainability issues. Each year a team of CAC AmeriCorps members assist with the long-standing program. The nature center welcomes the new CAC AmeriCorps Earth Flag team for the 2008-09 school year. They come to Ijams from a wide range of locations. Pictured top row, left to right, hometowns in parentheses: Becca Childress (Boone, NC), Amelia Gelnett (Paxtonville, PA). Bottom row, left to right: Ryan Worden (Harrisburg, PA), Kristy Keel (Barnwell, SC), Rebecca Rosen (Chicago, IL) and joining Earth Flag for a second year, Pamela Trousdale (Knoxville, TN). |
