Untitled-2

Hi everyone.
Sorry for late invitation.

The next meeting of MCAT (Moreland Community against the (East West) Tunnel will be:
Thursday 23 January, 6.30pm @ the Temple Park Senior Citizens Centre (also known as the Trugo Club), eastern side of Temple Park.
If you haven't been to meetings here, you can walk up Wilson St from the Jewell Station to the park.
Some ideas which will be discussed are: a family picnic at Holbrook Reserve (which will be destroyed by the East West Link) in the lead-up to a rally in a central location in Moreland; an action at the zoo to highlight how the zoo animals will be effected, stalls in various parts of  Moreland, we will also be discussing how to win the support of unions to stop the East West Link.
The three contact people for the group are Sue Bolton 0413 377 978;  Riki Lane 0400 877 819; and Michael Petit 0417 354 169.

Can you help staff a stall to get the word out about the impact of the East-West Link?
We are planning to have stalls on Saturday 1 February and Saturday 8 February. Over the next few weeks, we would like to do stalls at Union Square shopping centret; Barkly Square shops. Coburg Mall and other parts of Moreland.
Support the pickets

Many Moreland residents have been regularly supporting the pickets to stop the drilling for the East West Tunnel. The Linking Melbourne Authority has notified Yarra council that they want to drill at 14 sites.

The tunnel picketers have a facebook group:
No East West Tunnel - Take the pledge

The aim of the pickets is to delay the project enough to force the governement to take the project to the election.
