Gregor Clark, free lance writer and recurring author for Lonely Planet travel guides (www.lonelyplanet.com/members/gregorclark) led a discussion on his travels and career. The tasting room at Lincoln Peak Vineyard (www.lincolnpeakvineyard.com) is an excellent venue. We sat outside on the deck overlooking their pond, wine in hand enjoying the evening.

1/12/2011 51 MAIN AT THE BRIDGE (www.go51main.com/)
Several of us weathered the storm to hear Bill McKibben (http://www.billmckibben.com/) an environmentalist and writer. Bill spoke global issues related to climate change, a topic that he wrote the first ever book about at age 27. He also shared how YPs can get involved through 350.org (http://www.350.org/). It was a great opportunity to speak with a world renowned expert in his field.
