W&W Financial Support

Don't have time to crack the issues? Our local work relies on donations from our members. Please consider sending a separate check to support your local Sierra Club Woods & Wetlands Group. We can accept two types of donations.

Non-tax-deductible donations are crucial for running our organization and lobbying our elected officials. Write a check to Sierra Club and indicate Woods & Wetlands in the memo area. Tax-deductible donations may be used only for educational purposes, an important part of our work. Write a check to The Sierra Club Foundation and indicate Woods & Wetlands in the memo area. Employers will often match this type of donation.

Silent Spring Auction and a Barrel Full of Laughs

Barrelhouse Chuck, considered the most talented young blues piano player in the Chicago tradition, will appear for one night only at Byron Colby Barn. You can arrive when the doors open at 7:00 p.m. to participate in a silent auction benefiting W&W - or just chat with friends. Or come later to catch Barrelhouse Chuck at 8:00 p.m.

The proceeds of the silent auction will benefit the Woods and Wetlands.

See Barrelhouse Chuck's website for more information about him and his playing.

"Barrelhouse Chuck plays great Chicago blues in the true spirit of the masters who handed their music down directly to him. They knew they were putting their music in capable hands"
