Thank you for the information.  I was very impressed by the article in the
March April Issue of the Sierra, "Something Wonderful Happens When You
Plant a Seed" about  the first African Woman, Wangari Maathan,  to be
honored by receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and have made copies to be sent
to some of my friends.  As you know the issue of global warming which is
also an important issue was not even discussed in the last election even
though it is of critical importance for the children of the
future.  Planting trees is ever so much better than our mad rush for oil
for gasoline in our fuel inefficient cars.   The first would slow down
global warming and the second is hastening its approach.  I am 82 years old
and would be interested in going to the meeting on March 12 @ 1:30-3:30 PM,
if you would send me directions as to how to get to the Urbandale Public
Library from Nevada going south on I-35 to Des Moines.
