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.

Tomorrow, Thursday the 24th, Sierra Club is having an Activist Night to get
ready for two exciting March events:

March 2nd, 8pm - Viewing and discussion of the Sierra Club's new "True Cost
of Food" video. This event will be at the Urbandale public library, meeting
room B. We'll have sustainable snacks and great information on
earth-friendly eating.

March 12, 1:30-3:30pm - Viewing of the Sierra Club's new film, "Oil on Ice,"
about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This event will also be at the
Urbandale library, in meeting room A.

Both events should be great, and we need some volunteers to help get the
word out. Hope to see you tomorrow night at the Sierra Club office, 3839
Merle Hay Road, Suite 280, in Des Moines.

PS If you'd like to help, but can't make it tomorrow, we also need
volunteers on Monday, February 28th from 6:30-8:30pm, same place.
