Sierra Club members are invited to attend a weekend full of informative and fun events relating to the potential to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley, Yosemite's buried treasure, on May 21 & 22, 2005. On Saturday, May 21, the Sierra Club's Hetch Hetchy Restoration Task Force and the independent Restore Hetch Hetchy Board of Directors will meet jointly during the day at the Evergreen Lodge. Beginning early Saturday evening, we will host a "Soiree" at the Evergreen Lodge, which will feature: wine, cheese, and good munchies; our award-winning documentary film, "Hetch Hetchy: Yosemite's Lost Valley;" and, a presentation regarding our restoration Feasibility Study by our technical/engineering team. We're also planning to have a silent auction of art and photography with beautiful wildlife and outdoor images, and other exciting items. On Sunday morning, May 22, we'll have a Yosemite National Park Interpretive Ranger-led day trip to Hetch Hetchy to learn about the natural history of the area, and to enjoy the spectacular waterfalls (Tueeulala and Wapama), great granite walls, and wildflowers. |
