Most of the "Untold Stories" are about famous people (esp. from the entertainment industry) that lived in Marin and/or did something famous in this scenic region just north of San Francisco.

We've passed the test, Kahl Consultants is officially certified as a Marin Green Business.

The Green Business Program is a partnership among business leaders, government agencies and nonprofits.

It recognizes businesses that:

• Demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations
• Conserve energy, water, and other materials
• Implement environmental practices that prevent pollution
• Share environmentally responsible practices with other businesses in our community

The awards ceremony is in the Marin Civic Center on August 16 at 10 AM in Room 330.

Kahl Consultants invites you to be there.

And we invite your business to join a similar program in your community.

The "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) campaign suggests that you store the word "ICE" in your cell phone address book, and enter the
number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency".

For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff may then be able to find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them.

Assuming of course that:
1) they know how to use your phone.
2) you keep you phone on your body
3) the phone is not damaged
4) you don't use a PIN number to secure access to your phone

This is a legitimate idea.

Whatever the drawbacks, carrying ICE information is a worthwhile effort.
