Roanoke 'Keep the Ban' Kick Off Meeting
Thursday May 5, 2011
7:00pm - 8:30pm
Unitarian Universalist Church of Roanoke
2015 Grandin Rd, SW, Roanoke
RSVP to Ann Rogers (amelvin3@verizon.net
Virginia has a nearly 30 year ban on uranium mining. Foreign backed interests are trying to lift that ban starting less than 50 miles away from Roanoke in Southside Virginia. Uranium deposits have been identified throughout the state. If the ban were lifted it would be lifted statewide. Drinking water, human health, farmland, property values, wildlife and tourism across Virginia are at risk.
The ban could be lifted in the next 12 months. Come to our kick off meeting and learn what you can do to protect our heath, our heritage and our future.
For more information or to RSVP contact: Ann Rogers amelvin3@verizon.net.
Thanks and I'll see you on May 5th!
