Sierra Club Celebrates 120 Years of Conservation in America

Anniversary Bash to be Held at Blue Moon Saloon on Sunday, May 27

On May 28, 1892, legendary conservationist John Muir founded the Sierra Club. From its beginnings as a small, dedicated group of pioneer conservationists working to protect the unspoiled beauty of the Sierra Range, the Club has grown to become the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the country, with over 1.4 million members and supporters today.

To celebrate this landmark anniversary, the Delta Chapter is throwing an Anniversary Bash and Fundraiser at the Blue Moon Saloon. Attendees can expect delicious food, bid on items in a silent auction, meet local Club volunteer leaders, and rock out to the sounds of classic rock bands Stranger than Friction and the Zig Zag Wanderers. The event will also highlight the conservation achievements of the local Delta Chapter and Acadian Group and provide an opportunity to get involved. 


The menu consists of roasted pork, jambalaya (meat and vegetarian), and snacks.

WHAT:  Sierra Club Anniversary Bash--Food, Music, and Fun for a good cause.

WHEN: Sunday, May 27.  Doors and food begin at 6pm. Music begins 7 pm.

WHERE:  Blue Moon Saloon, 215 E Convent St, Lafayette LA

ADMISSION: $12. Includes food buffet.

We hope to see you there!

Lafayette Planning Commission "Meeting-in-a-box"

The Acadian Group of the Sierra Club would like to host a "Meeting-in-a-box" regarding Lafayette's new Comprehensive Plan. This is a great opportunity for us to highlight the role that clean energy, mass transit, bicycling, cultural tourism, sustainability, and forward thinking and planning can have in making Lafayette a world-class city in the 21st Century.

Our venerable chair has agreed to devote our next regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, May 9 to having one of these meetings. We will break up into small groups, discuss our ideas, collect them, and submit them to LPC.

If you can, we'd love for you to come out so we can hear your ideas and incorporate them. We may also spend some time discussing ways that we as a local group can work to improve our fair city. Hope to see you there.
