Please excuse reposting (in plain text)

Dear NFPA:

You are invited to join the Ancient Forest Roadshow that will be
traveling across the country this year.  As you may remember from last
year, the roadshow brings a slice of a huge old growth tree across the
counrty in order to raise awareness about the flaws in the "Healhty
Forest" logging legislation and the rest of the Bush Admindustry's
logging agenda.  This roadshow was successful last year, and we intend
to duplicate it again in 2004 with not one, but THREE seperate routes.

Please check out the job description and contact Demis:
Demis Foster, Project Director
Ancient Forest Roadshow
Protect America's Living History

Thanks,
Andrew George
