Sierra Club
Michigan Chapter
20th Annual
2009 Annual Retreat

August 28th - 30th
(Friday night - Sunday)
Camp Miniwanca

2009 Keynote Speaker:
Skip Pruss
Director, Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth

Stanley "Skip" Pruss, is this year’s keynote speaker. A graduate of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University Law School, Mr. Pruss has served as Deputy Director of the Department of Environmental Quality and most recently served as Governor Granholm's Special Advisor on Renewable Energy and the Environment.

Featuring the humorous musical stylings of:
Tommy Foster (with Bob Motycka)


Tommy Foster makes his mark by strategically deconstructing familiar pop songs and reassembling them into meaningless montages or seemingly endless medleys...without the absolute predictability that forces the dumbing down en masse of any audience, listening or not.

Don't miss Tommy Foster Saturday night! Bring your requests!

Historic Camp Miniwanca
A mile of sandy beach and hundreds of acres of mature forests, Miniwanca has been the home of the Retreat for 18 years.
