Drew Stoll will present a talk on recreation and conservation work in Estes Park during a program tonight at the Stanley Museum. The program will begin at 6 p.m. at the museum.
Stoll has assisted on multiple recreation and conservation projects in Estes Park. His work has included management plans for Lake Estes, Marys Lake and East Portal, a master plan for YMCA of the Rockies and the Estes Valley Habitat Assessment.
Stoll has also designed a wall map called, "Essence of Estes Park," which captures the "essence" of Estes Valley. The map is high-quality cartographic wall art that celebrates nature and community. Up-close, the map illustrates parks, trails, historic sites, roads; and from a distance, it reveals topography, hydrology and vegetation. Stoll has donated more than 150 copies of the map to community organizations and businesses and it can be seen all around town. It can be seen online at essenceofplace.com.
The map is available for viewing and can be purchased locally at the Stanley Museum. The museum is located in Lower Stanley Village, just behind the Chocolate Factory. It`s open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and by special appointment. For more information, call (970) 577-1903.

Peace Corps Online The Independent News Forum serving Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
| Peace Corps: The Next Fifty Years As we move into the Peace Corps' second fifty years, what single improvement would most benefit the mission of the Peace Corps? Read our op-ed about the creation of a private charitable non-profit corporation, independent of the US government, whose focus would be to provide support and funding for third goal activities. Returned Volunteers need President Obama to support the enabling legislation, already written and vetted, to create the Peace Corps Foundation. RPCVs will do the rest. |
| How Volunteers Remember Sarge As the Peace Corps' Founding Director Sargent Shriver laid the foundations for the most lasting accomplishment of the Kennedy presidency. Shriver spoke to returned volunteers at the Peace Vigil at Lincoln Memorial in September, 2001 for the Peace Corps 40th. "The challenge I believe is simple - simple to express but difficult to fulfill. That challenge is expressed in these words: PCV's - stay as you are. Be servants of peace. Work at home as you have worked abroad. Humbly, persistently, intelligently. Weep with those who are sorrowful, Care for those who are sick. Serve your wives, serve your husbands, serve your families, serve your neighbors, serve your cities, serve the poor, join others who also serve," said Shriver. "Serve, Serve, Serve. That's the answer, that's the objective, that's the challenge." |
