Sierra Club Iowa Chapter is proud to host informational meetings about the role 
of local energy cooperatives in creating economic opportunities in rural 
communities. Two German coop officials, Dr. Andreas Wieg from the German 
Cooperative and Raiffeisen Federation in Berlin and Michael Diestel from 
Agrokraft, a rural electric cooperative in Bavaria, will be in Iowa June 13-14 
to discuss how renewable energy can revitalize entire communities. 

Wieg and Diestel will be available the afternoon of June 13 to meet with 
decision makers and policy advocates in Urbandale.  They will also meet with the 
general public in Johnston the evening of June 13 and in Cedar Rapids the 
afternoon of June 14.   Sierra Club members interested in renewable energy for the 
21st Century are encouraged to attend one of three meetings.
