Join the Upper Peninsula Coalition for Clean Water outside the Vandament Arena (PEIF) at noon, anticipating Obama’s speech scheduled for 1:20 pm. Parking is available in the Lakeview/YMCA lot. Parking lots located north of the Dome are also open, however, other lots around the Dome are restricted. We will rally along Fair Ave. in front of the Berry Events Center. Look for the BLUE WATER FLAGS and spirited people!
Bring signs and flags – WELCOME OBAMA! -“Protect our Water”, “Clean Water Forever,” “Five Great! One Superior!” “Water is Life” and more. We will have extra signs.
It would be great to show our local support in welcoming our President of the United States where his Inaugural exhortation to the nation was: “Let Clean Waters Flow” !
President Barack Obama’s appearance at NMU on Thursday, Feb. 10, will be an invitation-only event in Vandament Arena geared primarily toward NMU students. According to the White House Office of Media Affairs, Obama will deliver remarks on the National Wireless Initiative. Prior to the event in Vandament, the president will see a demonstration of how NMU’s WiMAX network has enabled distance learning for university and community students and meet with local business owners who have used broadband access to grow their businesses.
Rally On!
