PROGRAM - Our fourteenth program of President Dr. Heidi’s year was introduced by October’s Program Chair for Vocational Service Month, Chris Appleton. Jennifer Koney, Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Ctr: What? Sharks in my Backyard?--Local Impacts of Sea Level Rise. Jennifer stated that the sea level is scheduled to rise 55 inches by 2100 which will create salinity intrusion and flooding. Methods on how to respond were shared.
She recommended the website adaptingtorisingtides.org and the book “Global Wierdness, How Bad are Bananas?”
LOOKING FOR THE MOLAR WITH THE GOLD GLITTER FILLING DONE “JUST FOR US” BY DR. HEIDI - Jennifer reached into the ticket container and pulled out Mark Poniatowski’s ticket, who then had a chance to win $156 with 17 marbles in the bag. Then Mark reached into the bag searching for the white molar free from decay with golden sprinkles and pulled out a good tooth! And promptly gave it to Dr. Heidi for Polio Plus!
