We Say No to GMOs

In accordance with national Sierra Club policies on biotechnology the Lake Group has given its formal endorsement to the efforts of the Coalition of Responsible Agriculture to regulate the cultivation of genetically engineered crops in Lake County. We encourage all our members to visit the Coalition website to learn more about the issue, and to give the campaign your own personal endorsement.

 

 

We Adopt a Highway!

Participation in this activity -- which is useful, good exercise, fun, and great publicity for the Sierra Club -- is open to all volunteers over the age of 16, members and non-members alike. If you want to help out, either regularly or occasionally or only once, please call Lars at 279 4949 or send an email to larscrail@mchsi.com to sign up
