Invite you to a benefit event

Current Research on Soil Remediation Technologies
Dr. Nick Basta of the Ohio State University

Dr. Basta will present timely information on his current research into inexpensive and effective ways to treat lead and other contaminants in the soil. Utilizing these techniques could prove to be a powerful tool in dealing with Cleveland's Lead Crisis. Please forward this invite to others whom you feel would benefit.

If you read Realneo, or contribute content to Realneo – (or are involved/interested in any other NEO web site for that matter) - you're welcome to show up at Dewey's Coffee in Shaker Square this Wednesday, December 17, 2008, between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. I will be there, along with other Realneo habitués.

This low key GetToKnowThePeopleBehindTheirUserNameEvent will, in the Holiday Spirit, be byoc (buy your own coffee).

If all this focus on REALNEO about Tremont has surfaced any really unique insight, it is how cool Tremont and its core people are, and how critical appreciation for that is to the future of NEO. I'm pleased to feel our dialog here has opened channels toward better understanding in this neighborhood, which is better for all who love Cleveland. Now I'd like to see how we, as a virtual community, may do more, better... be more engaged and better for the Real Tremont.
