DON'T MISS OUR OCTOBER MEETING! |
|
|
|
Though this issue of our newsletter is late getting to you, it's worth having waited for because it brings excellent news of our first Fall Meeting. Arrangements are made for us to attend one of the prestigious Edwin Way Teale Lecture Series environmental presentations at the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs on Thursday, October 4. |
|
|
|
Speaking on |
|
|
|
Endangered Species Conservation: An Assessment and Prognosis |
|
|
|
wii be |
|
|
|
Michael J.Bean, Esq. |
|
|
|
Chair" of the Wildlife Program of the national Environmental Defense Fund. |
|
|
|
The Defense Fund partners with businesses, governments, and communities to find practical solutions to environmental problems; and given that the speaker is an attorney, we may assume that his expertise is in the knotty legal aspects of the issues. Atty. Bean, a Yale Law School graduate, specializes in endangered species, forest, and watershed issues, all of which are of concern to Connecticut residents. Moreover, among his recent publications is ;A Happy Marriage: Farm Bill Conservation Programs and Endangered Species SafeHarbor Agreements,;which addresses an increasingly urgent issue in our state as farmlands surrender to development. |
|
|
|
On October 4 we will first gather at 1:OOpm for luncheon at Zenny's Restaurant, just west of the intersection of Routes 195 and 44 in Storrs (directions are below). In case you missed it, our meal there last year had excellent reviews. This time our entree choices are: |
|
|
|
Baked Salmon |
|
|
|
Pork Tenderloin with Mushrooms and Spinach Eggplant Florentine |
|
|
|
Eggplant Florentine |
|
|
|
Veal Parmesan |
|
|
|
and the cost of the full meal is $18.00. (There is also a cash bar.) Please be sure to mark your choice on the tear-off registration form on the back of this newsletter and return it promptly to Compton Rees - or, if you have received this notice too late to depend on the USPS to meet the September 24deadline, please call one of our officers (listed on p. 7) to make your reservation. |
