Annual TuCARE Dinner Speaker Announced
The 26th annual TuCARE Dinner and Auction take place Saturday March 14th at the Sonora Elks Lodge.
TuCare Executive Director Melinda Fleming, was Thursday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”.
The special guest speaker is Dan Daggett, an environmentalist and a conservationist who will talk about “Rediscovering Our Importance to Nature”.
Daggett admits to having come full circle in his beliefs. He says that environmentalism is caught up in politics and he wants the public to see results rather than regulations.
TuCare stands for Tuolumne County Alliance for Resources and Environment, Inc. It was established to enlighten and advise the public on conservation and the wise use of our natural resources.
TuCare is involved in issues related to public and private lands usage which TuCARE feels is essential for a vital and functioning local, and state economy.
