The theme of the evening's films will be "Environmental Threats and Solutions". These hand-picked short films tell the stories of individuals or groups who were faced with an environmetal problem and took determined action to address it.
Last month's Wild & Scenic event was very well received by the "full house" that attended. There will be a raffle tomorrow night of sponsor prizes at intermission.
