Beginning with our regularly scheduled third Thursday monthly meeting on August 15, WIRT activists will start holding weekly strategizing and planning sessions at the WIRT Activist House (918 S. Jefferson Street in Moscow) at 7 pm every Thursday. Please frequently check the Events Calendar (http://wildidahorisingtide.org/events-calendar/) on the WIRT website, call 208-310-2108 for more information, bring some food and beverages to share, and discuss these and emerging group initiatives at this WIRT convergence:
