A reminder that the Sierra Sage Group of South Orange County is holding its bimonthly meeting next week, May 27th at 7:00 pm at the Norman Murray Senior and Community Center , 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo, CA in the Juniper Room. The meeting is a great place to meet and talk with local folks who care about the environment and enjoy, explore, and protect the wild places of the Earth. We will let you know which hikes in the local hills are coming up soon, and the status of the decommissioning of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and other local issues. The program of the evening will be a photo presentation of the wild and wonderful places in the Pacific Northwest, including Mt. Rainer, the rain forests of Olympic National Park, the Northern Washington Coast and beaches, as well as Cape Flattery and the Makah Nation concluding with a ferry ride to Victoria, British Columbia and the world famous Butchart Gardens. We also want to thank everyone who attended our annual fundraiser at the Audubon Society's Starr Ranch Sanctuary last Sunday. Approximately 90 people attended with the proceeds shared between the local Sierra Club Group and the Sanctuary. Six hikes and two birdwalks were conducted during the warm spring afternoon, while between the hikes, folks enjoyed the bluegrass music presented by TEDD, a local bluegrass group. We hope to see all of you next year! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe from the ANGELES-SIERRA-SAGE-NEWS list, send any message to: [log in to unmask] Check out our Listserv Lists support site for more information: http://www.sierraclub.org/lists/faq.asp
