The Berryessa Snow Mountain national monument dedication festival on March 19 was expected some highly celebratory moments, and the expectation turned out to be well justified -- and was capped by a particular shout out for the Sierra Club's contributions during the seven-year campaign. Just before the end of the ceremony the two Congressmen in attendance (Mike Thompson and John Garamendi) announced that thanks to a number of individuals had been read into the Congressional Record, among them the Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club. We were all called up to the front individually and presented with copies of the "recognize and honor" proclamation.
