      You're invited to join us for a very exciting event: Coldwell Banker Grass Roots Realty's First Annual Earth Awareness Event. The goal is to bring awareness to what the individual can do to protect the earth and to bring attention to the good works being done at the grass roots level in our community.   The focus is on non-profit groups, providing information, and having a good time; they won't be selling houses that day and the event is not a trade show.  They'll be serving popcorn and water; the new Culture Shock Yogurt shop next door will be selling refreshments.
