Earth Day Alert: Going Green in Sonoma this Sunday with National Geographic Chair Gil Grosvenor

If you are in the Bay Area this Sunday, you should make your way up to Sebastopol for an awesome Earth Day fundraising party for the National Geographic Society and other institutions fostering sustainability. (Earth Day is actually April 22.) The theme of the day is solutions. Keynote speaker Gil Grosvenor, Chairman of National Geographic Society, will talk about his vision to establish endowments in all 50 states to fund geography and environmental education independent of state budgets. Party/Party The great wines of the Russian river will be flowing, a solar powered reggae band will be jamming and fabulous cuisine from local sources will be served. Many cool developments will be demonstrated including the Tesla electric roadster. All for a $50 contribution. The event runs from 1-4 p.m. Here's the press release for additional details. We’ve made this little promotional video for our friend Joy Sterling, the host of the party and co-owner of our favorite vineyard, Iron Horse. Joy gives a rundown of Sunday’s events at Iron Horse. All the best Joy and the Sterling family for a big success and good times for all. Wish we could be there. Hey, best buy your tickets now as there is limited room. Here's a blurb about the event in the San Francisco Chronicle. --- Andy and Kathy Plesser
