Dinner Meeting w/Special Speaker

Hello everyone,

Mark your calendar for the upcoming MMAH Dinner Meeting to be held on Sunday, March 24, 2013. In keeping with the “Humanist” component of our organization, we feature educational programs at our monthly Dinner Meetings that cover a broad range of topics of interest to the membership.

The program this month will be a presentation by Mr. Pat Lindemann on Environmental Hydrology: issues of quality and quantity of water and how they impact society today and in the future, along with example solutions to some of the issues. Oil may be the prized commodity today, but in the foreseeable future, fresh water resources will be the prized commodity upcoming generations will be battling over in our own country as well as around the world.
