9:00 PM Discussion and book signing Hosted by GREEN SPACES.
Reception Food & Beverages provided by The Terminal. ABOUT THE FILM
Winner of the 2008 Audience Award for Best Documentary at Sundance, FUEL is an insightful portrait of America's addiction to oil and an uplifting testament to the immediacy of new energy solutions. Director Josh Tickell, a young activist, shuttles viewers on a whirlwind journey to track the rising domination of the petrochemical industry-from Rockefeller's strategy to halt Ford's first ethanol cars to Vice President Cheney's petrochemical company sponsored energy legislation - and reveals a gamut of available solutions to "repower America" -from vertical farms that occupy skyscrapers to algae facilities that turn wastewater into fuel. Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables take the audience through America's complicated energy past and illuminate a hopeful, achievable future, where decentralized, sustainable living is not only possible, it's imperative. "Fuel is a vital, superbly assembled documentary...it doesn't dwell on muckraking, however; it's more focused on broadly inspiring viewers than preaching to the converted...
Smartly animated interstitials, memorable archival material and a lively soundtrack round out the fast-paced proceedings." -Los Angeles Times February 13, 2009

Protect Land by Joining
Tennessee River Gorge Trust (TRGT) for
‘A Gorgeous Evening’
Thursday June 18, 5pm - sunset The Tennessee River Gorge Trust will host 'A Gorgeous Evening' at the beautiful Caldwell Family Property on Thursday, June 18. The property is located just 10 minutes from downtown Chattanooga off of Highway 41. Guests will enjoy butterflies, breezes and BBQ in the heart of the Gorge, while also contributing to the protection of the "Gateway to the Gorge." The "Gateway" campaign is helping the Trust raise funds to protect a piece of property that is owned by the Stolpmann family. This property is being protected through a conservation easement, a tool that allows the Trust to purchase the development rights so that the property will be protected in perpetuity. The Stolpmann property lies in Chattanooga, directly across from Williams Island, and harbors vast wildlife and some of the most pristine forest habitat in the Gorge, as well as historic remnant entrenchments from the Civil War "Siege of Chattanooga." The Trust has raised 70% of the monies needed to complete the deal, but still needs to raise $373,000 by June 2010. 'A Gorgeous Evening' will begin at 5:00 p.m. and end by sunset. The evening will include a surprise announcement that you won't want to miss, scrumptious appetizers by 212 Market, beer, wine and a specialty drink, BBQ provided by Bones Smokehouse, ice cream by Ben & Jerry's, music courtesy of Fletcher Bright and the Dismembered Tennesseans, tours of Cummings Lake provided by Duffy Electric Boats, River Garden Butterfly Pavilion Tours, a "hole in one" golf contest, fishing on the Tennessee River or in Cummings Lake (bring your own fishing gear), and strolls along the beautiful river gardens. $100 per person or $150 per couple. All proceeds from 'A Gorgeous Evening' will benefit the Trust's land preservation efforts. For for more information, or to make reservations via phone, please contact Julie Beach at 423.266.0314 or visit the Trust website at www.trgt.org by June 15. ### The mission of the Tennessee River Gorge Trust is to enrich our community by conservation of Tennessee’s Grand Canyon through land protection, education and the promotion of good land stewardship. To date, the Tennessee River Gorge Trust has protected over 62 percent of the 27,000 acre Gorge which begins near the Chattanooga Riverfront and stretches 27 miles downstream to the “Old Hales Bar Dam” located in Marion County. The Tennessee River Gorge Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Learn more about the Trust’s land protection and educational programs at www.trgt.org. Contact: Julie F. Beach 423-266-0314
