[SEMCO] SIERRA CLUB MEETING (Nov. 13) IN FALMOUTH

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

The Sierra Club's Cape Cod Group will meet on Thursday night, November 13, at 
the Unitarian Universalist meetinghouse in Falmouth, on Cape Cod.  The public 
is invited.  Several issues of interest to local environmentalists are on the 
agenda.

Joanna Wilson, a marine scientist, will speak.  "Wildlife at Risk: The 
Issues, Research, and Evidence Concerning Contaminant Effects in Marine Animals" 
draws upon her recent research.  Dr. Wilson completed her PhD requirements in the 
MIT and WHOI Joint Program in Biological Oceanography.

The Sierra Club meeting will discuss early plans for the New Year's Day walk 
in Woods Hole.  This holiday event has become a local tradition.  Families 
walk around Eel Pond and then pause at Waterfront Park to "toast the coast" with 
non-alcoholic beverages.  Everyone promises to do their best, in the new year, 
to help care for the Woods Hole community and the coastal and marine 
environment.  Afterwards, there's a "potluck party" at the WHCA hall on Water Street.  
Everyone is welcomed!

The Sierra Club's Nov. 13 meeting will begin at 7:30 pm.  The Unitarian 
Universalist meetinghouse is located at 840 Sandwich Road in East Falmouth.  For 
additional information about the meeting, please contact Robert Murphy.  
Telephone: (508) 563-5948.
