General Meeting Program - Tuesday, February 12, 7:00 pm - Refreshments at 6:30
50 Year Anniversary of Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey
This groundbreaking sometimes radical, and always entertaining book has inspired thousands of environmentalists to stand up for clean air, clean water, and wilderness preservation in all our great park lands, including Arches National Park where the book is set. This underground classic is considered one of the most important pieces of literature which kick started the modern environmental movement. Former Dallas Sierra Club Chair Wendel Withrow will lead the discussion and include mostly unknown video and audio of the 'famous' and sometimes 'infamous' Edward Abbey.
Everyone is welcome. FREE! You don't have to be a Sierra Club member. Just show up. We'd love to meet you.
Our General Meeting starts at 7:00 pm, but come at 6:30 for snacks, information and fellowship. Click over to our General Meeting page for more information and a map.
