Movie Discussion: Girl in the Cafe
Leaders: Ann Vanvick and Ruth Agar

A shy, jilted young woman meets a brilliant, but introverted, economist in a busy cafe. This unlikely couple personally hit it off, and she joins him as he heads for a G8 Economic Summit in Iceland. When her down-to-earth personal convictions become known at the Summit, her passionate feminism brings an abrupt awakening to the politicians and intellectuals who make world economic policy.

Wolves and Wild Lands on a Modern Landscape
Speaker: Peggy Callahan, Wildlife Science Center Creator

Callahan will speak on wolves, ecology, and politics in the Upper Midwest. She earned her degree in biology from Carleton College and began working for the Wolf Project in August 1985. When federal funding for the Wolf Project ceased in 1991, Callahan created the Wildlife Science Center to keep the facility open. After three years of intensive building and program planning, the center opened its door to the public as a nonprofit education center and research facility. -Pris Sixel
