MATTESON—(ENEWSPF)—January 29, 2016. The Sauk-Calumet Group of the Illinois Sierra Club invites you to its next meeting. Avid canoeist Lois Lauer will talk about the life and work of Sigurd Olsen, who led the struggle to protect the Boundary Water Canoe Wilderness near Ely, Minnesota, a million-acre wilderness that contains no roads or motorized traffic. Last summer Lois visited Sigurd Olsen’s wilderness sanctuary called “Listening Point” which inspired much of his writing, before she took off with three other women for a weeklong canoe trip in the wilderness about which Olsen wrote so poetically. Lois will share photos and stories and read some of Olsen’s reflections about the spiritual value of wilderness and solitude for our souls.
The meeting will be on Monday, February 8th at 7:15 p.m. The meeting is at the Frankfort Public Library. The Frankfort Public Library is visible from Lincoln Hwy. at the corner of Lincoln Hwy. and Pfeiffer Rd. Pfeiffer Rd. is about a mile east of LaGrange Rd. on Rt. 30. The address is 21119 Pfeiffer Rd. in Frankfort.
Monthly meetings usually start with announcements with the program following. Programs are about nature or an environmental issue. Meetings are free and open to the public. For directions or more information about the Club and its activities, contact Patrick Coffey at [email protected].
