*You are invited!*
*Register Now* for the *Quad Cities Earth Charter Summit*


2008 has been named the United Nations' *Year of Planet Earth* – an
appropriate time to emphasize the Earth Charter's role in addressing climate
change and its effects. Join us for a day of exploring facts and
possibilities. Generate hope for the future and energy to make a difference
at the Quad City Earth Charter Summit.

*The QC Earth Charter Summit will be held on October 11, 2008 at the
RiverCenter in downtown Davenport, Iowa, from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm*. In
addition to presentations and displays by local groups and individuals, we
are privileged and excited to be featuring from New York City, *"No Impact
Man"* aka *Colin Beavan* (visit his blog at www.noimpact.com) and from the
University of Iowa, renowned environmentalist *Professor Jerald Schnoor*.

*Cost is just $20 per person and includes lunch*.
*Seating is limited so early registration is suggested.*

*Plan to attend!* Additional details about the summit and participants can
be found at www.qcearthcharter.org where registration brochures can be
downloaded. It's easy to register - simply fill out the form in the brochure
and mail. Please consider forwarding this information to your contact lists
and include the summit in your organization's calendar of events. We are
conserving paper by sending this to you electronically! I will also be happy
to mail brochures per request.

*The Earth Charter* is an international agreement incorporating the
following principles: respect for nature, universal human rights, economic
justice and a culture of peace. It seeks to inspire a sense of global
interdependence and shared responsibility for the well being of the human
family and the larger living world and is not aligned with or owned by a
particular political party, religion or socio-economic group. The major
consideration is quality of life for all.

The Summit is presented by the *Congregation of the Humility of Mary* whose
mission statement reads, "We commit ourselves to work for justice within the
human family and to care for the earth itself."

*Progressive Action for the Common Good* is also a major sponsor of this
event.

Thank you for your consideration and I hope to see you at the summit on
October 11th.
Feel free to call or email if you have questions.
