The next meeting of the La Jolla Democratic Club will be at 2 p.m. May 17th in the Community Room of the AMC 12 La Jolla Theatres, 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive, beneath Ralph’s and Trader Joe’s.  

Usually our meetings are the second Sunday, but since in May the second Sunday is Mother’s Day, we have to go the the third Sunday, May 17th.

The program will be a video of Bill Mckibben’s speech last week at the Burke Lecture Series in the Jeannie Auditorium at UCSD. McKibben, who has a sense of humor, said we will eventually get all of our energy from Heaven (sun & wind) and no more from Hell, (Coal, oil and gas). He also said the sun’s energy travels 93 million miles to get to earth, and none of it has to go through the Strait of Hormuz.

McKibben’s first book was “The End of Nature,” and he has written several on climage change. He is considered one of the world’s top authorities on climate change. He lives in Vermont with his wife, and has taught at the university.

The club is chartered by the San Diego County Democratic Party

Club officers: Derek Casady – President, Bud Titlow – Vice President, Nancy Casady – Treasurer, and Mark Hughes – Secretary
