SUMMARY:MONTOPOLIS: THE LIVING COAST
DESCRIPTION:The Living Coast performance combines original music\, live narration\, and cinematic images of the Texas gulf coast.  Surfers and sailors\, shrimpers and oilmen\, poets and scientists all share their stories about this complicated region of serene beauty\, vast industry\, and incredible contradictions. \nThe Living Coast film was produced by cinematographer Anlo Sepulveda and drone pilot Reagan Jobe. \nProceeds from this performance will be donated to the Matagorda Bay Foundation and the Citizen’s Environmental Coalition. \n \n“A Montopolis show is like a night of beautiful chamber music\, but with electric guitar and the twang of pedal steel giving a Texas kick to the keys and strings.”  Texas Monthly \n“A multimedia love letter to the Texas coast\, with voices and images from the Gulf set to an original score” – NPR\, The Texas Standard \n“Montopolis can create forceful sounding songs that have a bit of rock ‘n roll snarl\, but it is also capable of mournful classical sounding pieces and others that are mysterious and ambient. The group’s range of expression is striking…” – Andrew Dansby\, Houston Chronicle  \n  \nRegister for the event here.

SUMMARY:Step Up for Bats Challenge
DESCRIPTION:When you participate in the Step Up for Bats Challenge this October\, every step you take matters for bats! Whether you’re walking\, running\, biking\, swimming\, or taking part in any another fitness activity\, it all counts. Registration is $45 and includes a Step Up For Bats swift-wicking T-shirt!\n\nBats are crucial to a healthy planet. They pollinate important food-bearing plants like bananas\, peaches\, and agave. They regenerate forests by dispersing seeds. They save farmers billions of dollars each year by eating crop-destroying insects and reducing the use of chemical pesticides in the environment. But unfortunately\, bats around the world are on the decline due to threats like habitat loss\, disease\, and starvation – threats that we can overcome.\n\nJoin the challenge to walk a collective 15\,000 miles (30 million steps) around the globe to raise awareness for the importance of bats\, and raise $25\,000 to support Bat Conservation International’s work to protect them. At each destination\, you’ll unlock a milestone badge and special content! You can earn awards for fundraising and compete to raise the most money and track the most steps throughout the month of October.\n\n\nHow to participate:\nRegister and set up your account anytime before October 31st. Once you register\, you will have your own web page that will track your distance and funds you raise.\n\nRegistration is $45 (includes T-shirt). Registration fees are counted toward your fundraising goal.

SUMMARY:Texas Recycles Day (A proud part of America Recycles Day)
DESCRIPTION:Texas Recycles Day (ARD)\, held on and around November 15\, is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States! \n  \nTexas Roots! \nAlso known as National Recycling Day\, this day began in 1994 after 2 employees of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality suggested the idea to the Nation Recycling Coalition. The first America Recycles Day was officially held on November 15\, 1994 and had at least 40 states taking part. \n  \nWhat is TexasRecyclesDay.org? \nOn Nov. 1st 2021\, STAR will launch the all-new TexasRecyclesDay.org\, with help from contributing organizations Keep Texas Beautiful (KTB) and Take Care of Texas (TCOT). \nTexasRecyclesDay.org will be a hub and clearinghouse for sharing recycling information\, digital assets\, and social media posts\, free to use for local governments\, businesses\, non-profits\, and anyone who wants to promote recycling right in Texas. \nAssets will be available year-round\, and the collection will continue to grow\, but each month will feature targeted messaging based on how Texans live and recycle. \nWe’re setting out to make every day Texas Recycles Day by harmonizing and amplifying recycling messaging state-wide. \n  \nHow can you participate? Amplify the message! \nStarting on Nov 15th and continuing through the holiday season\, STAR\, KTB\, TCOT and our other partners will be posting and promoting Texas recycling with shared videos\, graphics\, and recycling information. \nBy focusing all our efforts on the same message\, we can make a big impact on recycling in Texas. \n  \nPost on Your Own Page(s): \nShared assets will be available starting Nov. 1st\, 2021 at TexasRecyclesDay.org \n  \nShare Our Posts: \nSTAR\, KTB\, TCOT and our other partners will post featured messaging starting Nov 15th on social media channels and as newsletter blasts. \n  \nHost a Live Event: \nIf you’re planning a live event\, you can also register it with Keep America Beautiful \n  \nThis effort was inspired in part by the success of the North Texas Know What to Throw campaign\, prepared in cooperation with the North Central Texas Council of Governments through grant funds from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

SUMMARY:Prairie and Timbers Audubon Society Meeting with Presentation on  "New Zealand: Last Best Place on Earth"

Spectacular\, rugged scenery and unique birds were seen everywhere. Fewer than 20% of the birds they saw are seen in North America; and they saw 41 endemic species (birds only seen in New Zealand)\, such as the South Island Saddleback. And yes\, they did see and hear several Kiwis!  Come and share their adventure. \n  \nTo register for this event\, email ptaszoom@gmail.com with your name and postal address and receive a link. \n
