OK, folks, attached.pdf hot of the press from the schools (coming home in backpacks on Thursday, I think).
You can also provide a link to the Town website front page, middle:

Get it out there, please. We need lots of people *throughout Amherst* to understand what's going on if we're going to do anything other than rearrange deck chairs while we decimate the elementary schools in FY09, and we need a *plan* that gets us on track to survive (and thrive!) without some magical infusion of funds from the state and federal governments, because they are *not* coming to save us, no matter how hard we lobby them! (although yes, you still have to do the lobbying:-)
Talk to a BCG member if you have any questions; this is their show:

Thanks so much for helping make our community what we all want it to be!
Take care,
Alisa

Alisa -- Good link list. Is the one called Steve your husband, and if so, what is the language I keep seeing? Esperanto? Did you and Steve or just Steve and your son go to St. Croix last summer? Brian and I went (before I had a camera, unfortunately) and loved it. Brian was checking out a great organic farm/college program.
