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.

 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.
