The Oregon Sierra Club has a lot to celebrate this year. The death of Bradwood Landing LNG for starters. Then there’s the almost certain early closure of the state’s only coal-fired power plant near Boardman.
So Saturday’s annual Shindig should be a happy event. Even Mother Nature seems to be celebrating by turning down the heat and providing some almost perfect Oregon summer weather.
Here’s what’s on the agenda.
- 4:00pm: Drinks and family activities.
- 5:00pm: BBQ Buffet. The Sierra Club is asking for donations of $10-$20 per person to cover the cost of dinner.
- 6:00pm: Keynote speech by National Executive Director Michael Brune. Brune will provide the latest updates on the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and the momentum gathering behind the Sierra Club’s “Beyond Oil” campaign. Portland Mayor Sam Adams will be given the group’s annual Environmental Leadership Award in part for his efforts to advance Portland’s Clean Energy Works Program, advocate for early closure of Portland General Electric’s Boardman coal plant, and encourage a coal-free Oregon.
- 7:00pm: Music by Sound Semantics
