Maggie Geist, Executive Director of the Association for the Preservation of Cape Cod, will speak at OPET’s Annual Meeting on July 13th.

Save the Date! Don’t Miss this One!


OPET’s Annual Meeting will take place Thursday, July 13th 2000 at 7:30 pm at Sea Education Association, Woods Hole Rd and corner of Ransom Rd. The program will begin promptly at 7:40 pm with the year’s overview and reports on OPET’s activities. At 8:15 pm, keynote speaker Maggie Geist, Executive Director of the Association for the Preservation of Cape Cod (APCC), will speak of the Association's perspective on what needs to be done to preserve or better the quality of life on the Cape. Maggie Geist has recently taken the helm at APCC after having served as science translator at Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. (That means she can take the science 'stuff' and reword it so that anyone can understand it! And that includes how nutrients can cause problems in ponds.) Following the talk and the conclusion of other OPET business, we will adjourn to refreshments and socializing.
Please plan to join us and bring comments, questions and suggestions.
