Would anyone in IA Sierra Club host this party? This week,
thanks to Karen Tigges, Co-Chair of the Iowa Sierra Club Alaska Wilderness
Committee, we have 5 Arctic Refuge programs for classes at Drake University,
Simpson College and the Des Moines Montessori school. Another Committee
member Kevin Marquardt, ISU student is writing an Op-ed for the Des Moines
Register for the Arctic Refuge's 50th Anniversary. If anyone else
could give this party it would be a tremendous help to the effort. With
the new Congress, all our public lands are grave danger. Phyllis
The Sierra Club –
Northwest Office is hosting an Arctic office-house party and hope you can make
it!
The "biological
heart" of Alaska is once again under threat and we need
all the voices we can to urge President Obama to make a long lasting commitment
to a place we love. During the house party we will watch "The Refuge" a
10-minute film about our love affair with the Arctic, along with discussion questions and materials.
After the movie we'll take a moment to discuss the film. Party goers will
also be asked to sign a special anniversary card to President Barak Obama
advising him to make our national refuge a national monument – which we will
deliver to the President.
