The Gathering at Pocahontas State Park near Richmond, begins on Friday afternoon, with check-in at 4:30 p.m. An evening reception of light snacks will give everyone the opportunity to get acquainted with their fellow Sierra Club members from around the state.

Saturday features a full day of workshops focusing on global warming and energy issues. A presentation on off-shore wind power will be given by members who have been studying prospects for wind power. A presentation on solar power is also planned. Glen Besa, Virginia Chapter director, and Chapter staff will update us on efforts to stop coal-fired power plants, other campaigns related to power issues, and other issue of concern to the chapter.

Outdoor activities organized by rangers at Pocahontas State Park will be available throughout the weekend.

Saturday’s activities are capped by a festive evening of wonderful food, the speech by Allison Chin, and music by singer/song-writer Narissa Bond. The program concludes on Sunday with a wrap-up session after breakfast and checkout at 11 a.m.
