Topic of January 23, 2003 EMG General Meeting

"Wild Utah: America's Redrock Wilderness" is a multi-media slideshow documenting citizen efforts to designate public lands in southern Utah's spectacular canyon country as Wilderness under the 1964 Wilderness Act. This 20-minute journey through redrock splendor invigorates and motivates viewers to participate in the movement to protect these unique lands. "Wild Utah: America's Redrock Wilderness" was made possible through the generous donation of photos, music and words from concerned Utahans who wish to pass this heritage on to future generations, including a special reading by Pulitzer Prize winning author Wallace Stegner from his famous Wilderness Letter. In conjunction with a 30 minute presentation on the current status of the Utah wilderness movement by Bob Brister, Outreach Associate of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, this inspirational and informational event is a must see for citizens wishing to become personally involved to make the difference in this tremendous American public lands conservation effort.

The general meeting will be held at 7:30 on Thursday, January 23 in the Beaumont Room of the Missouri Botanical Garden. We will meet as usual before the meeting at the St. Louis Bread Co. anytime after 5:30 for dinner, but Bob Brister will not be able to attend.
