Dear ECO Net Members,

We are writing to invite you to attend, and if you like share
information at, six upcoming public open houses on Puget Sound Recovery
and the 2011 Update to the Puget Sound Action Agenda. Open houses will
be:

Barrie Blake Park

Mill Creek Regional Office
Tuesday, October 4 in Poulsbo at the Poulsbo City Council Chamber in
City Hall
Monday October 10 in Mount Vernon at the Padilla Bay National Estuarine
Research Reserve

The purpose of the open house is to share information about: our
measure of Puget Sound health, the Vital Signs; highlight Puget Sound
recovery priorities and accomplishments, especially local priorities and
accomplishments; and describe the upcoming update to the Puget Sound
recovery plan, the Action Agenda, and get public input. It also is an
opportunity to provide general educational information about Puget
Sound, recovery, and what individuals can do to help. Open houses will
run from 4:30 – 7:00, with extra time in the room available for set up
and pull down of materials.

We hope that you will attend and share your views. In addition, if you
would like to share information on your work, priorities, and/or
accomplishments at a table/poster presentation, we will have space
available and would welcome that! Please respond to Athena Bertolino at
