We enjoyed a lovely evening at the Bauernhof at Grant’s Farm on Sunday, May 5, 2019. Guests were treated to live music courtesy of Mary Outten, food and beverage, and got to take their picture with a Clydesdale! See more photos thanks to Bob Bawell.
Our Annual Awards were held in 2018 at the Moonrise Hotel. Guests enjoyed hors de’oeuvres, drinks, live music, and the presentation of our Lewis C. Green Award. In 2018 we honored two stars in the environmental community – Tom “Yusha” Sager and Maxine Lipeles.
Yusha Sager explained why the most climate friendly thing we could do is cultivate peace, not war. Maxine highlighted the connection between environmental justice and climate change, and talked about how a local campaign to close the Workhouse in the City of St. Louis is an environmental justice issue.
