Sharman Apt Russell to Speak at
Weber Pathways’ Seventh Annual Author Dinner Event |
Weber Pathways will present nature and science writer Sharman Apt Russell at its 2010 Author Event on Friday, March 19th, 5:30PM at the Timbermine restaurant. |
Our guest speaker for the evening will be Sharman Apt Russell,  a recognized and highly accomplished author and teacher.
Her talk is entitled “Finding Balance: Why small actions still matter in a world of big problems.” She has written about public-lands grazing, archeology, flowers, butterflies and hunger. A humanities professor at Western New Mexico University, she is active in the world of politics and social change.
This year we will again present "Trail Blazer" awards to one individual and one organization for the outstanding contribution they made to the development of Weber County's trail system.
Gib Wallace will be presented with the individual award for his many years of trail blazing and building. As one of the original visionaries for a trail system along our Wasatch Mountains he deserves recognition for his leadership role and years of pick and shovel work connecting and accessing our beautiful canyons. Through his leadership in scouting he shared his love of outdoors by mentoring hundreds of young people in Scouting, fostering a love for the out of doors.
Also that evening, we will recognize R.A.M.P. and its founder and guiding light, Candadai Seshachari, affectionately known as “Sesh”. The Weber County Recreation, Arts, Museums and Parks tax has been the life blood of many projects and programs in our community, enriching our lives and driving economic improvement. Sesh, and his late wife Neila, were the visionaries who saw the potential for this program and worked hard to bring it to life.
This night promises to be a very special one. We hope you will join us for this event. Your donation will not only honor Gib Wallace and R.A.M.P. for their superb contributions, but also will help Weber Pathways to continue its effort in behalf of our community. All but $28 of each ticket purchased is tax deductible.
