Prepare to be filled with wonder and delight on Sunday January 29th at TLC's 21st Annual Meeting and Brunch! The event will be held at D'Andrea's Banquets on Route 14 in Crystal Lake starting at 11am.

The featured guest is Dr. Roger Kuhns, known across the globe as a geologist, environmental scientist and performer who has entertained audiences from South Africa to Wisconsin! His Monologue will begin at 1pm, and will feature a unique performance that weaves together his travels, natural history and music.

As a fan described a recent performance in Minneapolis: "Charming monologue. Funny, different, thought provoking. Good entertainment without being "naughty". I found myself thinking about it days later." And "His stories are good for art lovers, bureaucrats, travelers .. well, most of us!"

Roger's performance will begin at 1pm. Brunch buffet will be open from 11 am - 12:30 pm, as will a silent auction featuring green, natural, handmade, local & organic items donated by local businesses and craftspeople!

TLC will be presenting our "2011 Living with Trees" awards to the City of Woodstock and the Fleming Road Alliance. The award program was started in 2006 to recognize those in the community who go "above & beyond" to ensure that oaks are an important part of the local landscape today & in the future.

Additionally, we will recognize several of the landowners who worked with TLC in 2011 to permanently preserve their properties! Over 100 acres were preserved last year using permanent conservation agreements with private landowners, accepting land donations and actually purchasing an acre of land!

Tickets are $35 for TLC members, and $50 for non-members. The $50 non-member price includes a complimentary year memership to TLC, which will entitle you to discounts at training and events as well as invitations to member-only events!
