Per Tom Mathew's request, here again are the details of the Iowa Chapter Annual meeting as they appeared in the IOWA SIERRAN. Sierra Club's Eagle View Group will host the Iowa Chapter's Annual Meeting and Dinner October 20, 2001. Departing from tradition, this year's meeting will be open to the public, and a fundraiser for Chad Pagracke. Chad Has won worldwide acclaim for his tireless efforts in cleaning up trash from the Mississippi, Illinois, and Ohio Rivers. In addition to his work of picking everything out of the river from cans to refrigerators to cars, Chad organized the "Adopt a River Mile" Campaign to utilize citizens of river communities to carry on what he began. The Annual Meeting will be at the Holiday Inn at 53rd and Brady in Davenport. Brady street is highway 61 and intersects I-80. The Holiday Inn is about 2 miles south of I-80. Turn left off the South bound one way on to 53rd and then turn right into the holiday Inn. Social hour begins at 6 PM with dinner at 7 PM. Chad will be the featured speaker, and awards will be given to those who have done outstanding work in the environmental community. The cost to attend is $25. A great evening is planned with a very nice meal, an opportunity to hear Chad and a time to socialize. All proceeds go to help clean up our rivers. Come early and bring your bike, roller blades or just enjoy a walk on the Quad Cities' recreational trails that cover more than 30 miles.
