Join us on February 8th for our 2nd
Turning the Tables Dinner to discuss the water crisis that,
while global, has tremendous impact in our own backyard. The
Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta faces multiple challenges that
require immediate action. Governor Schwarzenegger's Delta Vision
Blue Ribbon Task Force in its report released December 17th
has taken a giant step forward by highlighting both the estuary's
immediate and long-term priorities.
The key note speaker will be Senator Joe Simitian representing
the 11th District who will discuss the current crises and the
various actions proposed by the Blue Ribbon Task Force, and,
most importantly, what you can do to guide California towards
a sustainable future. Senator Simitian will be joined for a
panel discussion by Mindy McIntyre the Water Program Manager
for the Planning and Conservation League and Paul Johnson owner
of Monterey Fish and author of Fish Forever.
Perched on the edge of where the Sacramento River empties into
the Pacific, 1 Fort Mason is a perfect venue for this provocative
discourse. And to highlight the value of a healthy Delta, following
the panel discussion, we will enjoy the bounty of the water
and the land, with a menu created by our Honorary Chef, Patricia
Unterman. Ms. Unterman is the owner of Hayes Street Grill and
the restaurant reviewer for the San Francisco Examiner. The
author of San Francisco Food Lovers Guide and Unterman on Food,
Patty has led the restaurant world in celebrating local and
sustainably caught seafood. The price is $125.00 and includes
food, wine and a contribution to Food From the Parks.
