I am forwarding this in hopes that Iowa Sierrans will contact Nitaya to help organize meetings in your area as these young women bike through our state starting next week. They are giving a program in Sioux City on July 30. They will be staying overnight at the Ledges and then stopping in Ames and next Des Moines by August 4. They will be looking for a backyard or convenient campground where they can set up their tents for overnight, too. They need a slide projector and VCR/TV, plus a screen and a room to make their presentation. Please contact Nitaya by e-mail if you can help. Thanks, Jane Clark My name is Nitaya Chayangkura and I am coordinating a nation-wide bike tour for two young women who are riding across the country, from Seattle to Washington, D.C., to tell others about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and what people can do to save it. They will be making a stops in Sioux City, Storm Lake, Ledges, Ames, Des Moines, Grinnell, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport starting next week. I am currently working to find contacts there who may be willing to help us set up a program, because these girls have slides and videos and would like to talk about the ANWR and raise support for it. If you or any others are interested in helping out in any way, or if you know any helpful contacts, please let me know! I know it is pretty short notice, so I apologize for not contacting you sooner. I have materials and additional information I could send to you if you would like. You can call me at the Tennessee Environmental Council at (615) 248-6500 or at home (615) 833-4032 if you are interested. Thank you very much for your time.
