A Yale graduate, Ann will present her latest book Abalone that explores the intimate connections between food and nature along our California coastline. "When I found a stunning abalone shell on a Big Sur beach, it led me to discover a rich and remarkable history that spans more than 13,000 years. I unearthed colorful, joyful, and painful stories that speak directly to hard questions we face in this age of extinctions — how we can let animals we cherish become so imperiled? And how can we bring them back?”  She will have copies available for purchase and signing.  

See you at 6:30pm for the meeting and please join us early, if you can, for "dinner with the presenter" at 4:30pm at the post.  During dinner we will have a video presentation rolling highlighting the great moments we spent together in Fiji, assembled and put together by our in-house film producer, Fredo.  

Due to the large number of attendees who have already acknowledged they will be in attendance we have moved our meeting this month into the main hall.  Please reserve yourself a seat on the ALYC calendar so adequate seating can be set up.  See you soon!
