The November meeting of the Plateau Sciences Society will take place on Sunday, Nov. 20 at the Red Mesa Center on Hill Street in Gallup. The program starts at 2:30 pm and will feature Pam Maples, who will present the documentary, “Clean Up: Why & How.” The projected climate change is expected to make this region hotter and drier within the coming years. A program being conducted on the Navajo Nation is designed to clean up all residual storage tanks that may be contaminating local water supplies. This project is limited in scope, but in years to come, every drop saved will be important. There will be time for discussion afterwards.

The business meeting will follow the program. There are three important items on the agenda: (A) Election of Officers for 2017, (B) Report on last week’s trip to old Fort Wingate, and a discussion on the role that PSS should play in site preservation and/or restoration, and (C) Respond to an invitation from Hubbells Trading Post in Ganado to participate in their annual Holiday Luminaria event on Thursday evening, Dec. 1. We’ve also been requested to help pay for the toys that will be distributed to the attending children, so we might pass a basket for donations.
