KVMR’s very popular “science guy” Alan Stahler will present an evening slideshow Looking at Earth from Space at the Madeline Helling Library Community Room. Al’s images from space are always spectacular – and seriously mind-boggling! If you haven’t attended one of his presentations, this is your chance. These events always fill up fast…

Armchair Trek: Water!
7:00pm - 8:30pm
Madelyn Helling Library Community Room
Water, or the lack of it and quality of it, will be the next big issue we will all face. Water has always been a critical problem in the dry West. At this evening event we will hear from water deva Dr. Wendy J. Pabich, author of Taking on Water, talking about water, the health of water, and what you can do to keep it that way. She is funny, insightful, and will not only present the problem but will offer us solutions. Also speaking, about the organic imperative, will be Lew Douglas, founder of Urth Organic. Mark the date on your calendar – you won’t want to miss this!
