I am happy to invite you to a Catskill Mountainkeeper benefit dinner on December 7th featuring a talk on the climate crisis by Robert Thurman, renowned author, academic, and expert on Tibetan Buddhism. The evening, hosted by Sarah Johnson and Greg Cornell at their spectacular White Feather Farm in Saugerties, will benefit Mountainkeeper’s work to fight the climate crisis and advance our clean energy future. It’s going to be a great night, and we really hope you’ll be able to join us.
The evening will start with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and then we’ll sit down for a delicious farm-to-table dinner in the White Feather Farm’s beautiful barn. Following dinner, Robert Thurman will present information from the Climate Reality Project–former Vice President Al Gore’s visionary effort to lead the global fight for climate solutions. He will focus on the global political crisis as the devastating impacts of climate change affect our lives more and more each day, and talk about ways we can work together to make ambitious climate action a reality.

We expect this to be a very popular event, so I encourage you to act quickly if you’d like to attend. Click here to purchase tickets online. www.catskillmountainkeeper.org
