The Friends of the Black River will hold its annual holiday party and movie showing Monday, Dec. 5. FBR members and guests are invited to attend the gathering in the community room of the Jackson County Bank. The evening will begin with social hour at 6 p.m.
This year’s film will be “Chasing Ice.” The Emmy award winning documentary for Outstanding Nature Programming shows the effects of climate change on glaciers in Greenland, Iceland and Alaska. The 2012 documentary was made by nature photographer James Balog and was directed by Jeff Orlowski.
Although skeptical about climate change going into the project, Balog’s his opinion changed after witnessing the disappearance of glaciers and massive calving events.
Admission is $10 per person and along with the movie showing, pizza, popcorn and beverage will be served.
RSVP by Dec. 2 is requested to help with planning and ordering food. To RSVP, e-mail info_fbr@yahoo.com or call Steve Rake at 715-284-2087.
