On January 22, Emily Wilton shared with the Sunrise Club her experiences at the AGU Fall Meeting last month, and talked about her Masters' research.  Emily is completing her master's degree in biology at the University of Lethbridge, under the supervision of Dr. Larry Flanagan.  She had the opportunity to present her research at the AGU (American Geophysical Union) Fall Meeting in San Francisco in December 2014.  She is researching the effects of increased temperature on a native prairie grassland ecosystem, in an attempt to determine the future consequences of global climate change.

An example of what Rotary does in the community, this is the plaque commemorating Rotary's Centennial in  2005.  According to Riki Intner, 5150 District Governor 2009-2010, the Rotary Club of Fisherman's Wharf-San Francisco, rehabilitated the planter at the Cable Car turnaround at Bay and Taylor Streets, in response to the call from RI President Glen Estes for all Clubs to find a way to celebrate 100 years of Rotary.

 

 

 

Effective January 31, 2015, Terracycle is requiring people collecting the Tassimo discs to become public drop-off locations.   I will therefore not be collecting the discs after January 15, 2015.  If you have any discs you want to send in, I will do one final shipment before the end of the month so please bring any discs you have to the meeting on January 15.  After that, you can still recycle your discs by taking them to the Helen Schuler Coulee Center as they are a public drop off spot.
