Take part in the greatest event on the Lakes this summer!

The Great Lakes United TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE will be drawing millions of
people to the lakeshore this summer, and you're organization is invited to
participate.

With a fleet of tall ships at your back, and the water lapping below your
feet creates the perfect environment to talk to people about why the Great
Lakes matter and what we can do to protect them. As you may already know,
Great Lakes United is working to help spread the environmental message at
over 6 port events this summer. And we want you to help us tell the story of
the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes United TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE 2010 is a race across the lakes.
Visiting 6 major ports, and a few smaller points in between, a fleet of tall
ships - some from as far as Germany and the Netherlands - will be racing to
protect the Great Lakes. At each stop, Great Lakes United will be hosting a
"Green Village" with environmental exhibitors (like you!), green workshops
and presentations, special events, and more!
