Meetings are held at the Central United Methodist Church, 3700 Pacific Avenue, Stockton, in the Fireside Room, across from UOP Tower. (Please see the map at the bottom of the page.)

General Meeting - Monday, March 24, 2008, 7 pm - Clever Planetarium.

The March meeting of the Delta-Sierra Group of the Sierra Club will be held in the Delta College Planetarium starting at the usual time of 7:00 PM. When you enter the C-6 parking lot be sure to buy a ticket ($0.50).
The program will include night time viewing of stars and constellations for the time and location of overnight outings scheduled this Spring, Sumer and Autumn. That means you will need to bring the dates and locations (Longitudes) of the outing you are planning. With this information the planetarium projector will be set to show the interesting night sky objects. See you there.

Earth Day - Sunday, April 20, 2008.

Earthday will be celebrated on April 20 from 11 am to 5 pm at Victory Park in Stockton. If you would like to volunteer for the event call Michael Molamphy at (209) 957-2110 or Nancy Ballot at (209) 476-1926. Also check you local newspaper for other possible celebrations.

General Meeting - Monday, April 28, 2008, 7 pm - Wet Beaver Wilderness, Arizona.

Paul Plathe will present his slide show about a June 2007 Sierra Club outing to the red rock country of the Mogollon Rim located between Flagstaff and Phoenix. Wet Beaver Wilderness offers a wonderful opportunity to gorge scramble through the inner depths of a riparian desert environment. This seldom visited canyon is near the major population centers of Flagstaff and Camp Verde, yet it is very remote due to the rugged terrain. This particular outing has been described by a well known author as the best outing ever. Come hear the tale and see slides of 9 fearless hikers taking on one of Arizona’s best gorge scrambles.

General Meeting - Monday, May 19, 2008, 7 pm - Founders of the Delta-Sierra Group.

The May 19 meeting will honor the founders of Delta-Sierra Group. If you are in contact with any of those early members who are no longer residing within the DS group boundaries, please help us to contact them. If you have photos or stories from those early days of this group please call Nan Ballot at (209) 476-1926, Judy Craig at (209) 948-5823 or Monica Foster at (209) 467-3247. Have the issues or events changed? Join us for an evening to recount the history of our local activists. Please also note that this meeting has been moved up one week because of the Memorial Day Holiday.
