Stories from the Explorers Club

FAIRBANKS CONCERT ASSOCIATION AND THE UAF THEATRE DEPARTMENT PRESENT A SERIES OF TALKS ON SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON, "Stories from the Explorers Club," in advance of the Split Knuckle Theatre performance of Endurance on November 21 and 22, 2014. The talks will take place at Pioneer Park at the Palace Saloon. Please join us Wednesday, November 5th at 6pm for ?Rediscovered: Polar Exploration in the 20th Century? with Mike Castellini, Dean of the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He has been to South Georgia Island working on seal and penguin projects and visited Shackleton?s grave site and Antarctic huts in the Ross Sea. He has also previously led a UAF Leadership Institute workshop on Shackleton. Mike will address questions of polar science and climate change, why Shackleton?s story remains relevant and important today, and discuss Shackleton?s leadership abilities. Donations will be accepted at the door. Refreshments will be served. All attendees over 21 may enter a drawing for a very special door prize: a bottle of Shackleton Whiskey, to be drawn on the final evening.
