DEMOCRATIC CLUB OF SARASOTA & ENVIRONMENTAL CAUCUS OF SARASOTA COUNTY DEMOCRATS
PRESENT OUR FIRST “BACK TO REAL LIFE” LUNCHEON
Saturday afternoon, August 7
12:00 – 1:30 pm at Marina Jacks
Reservations are Required. Please See RSVP Link Below
Join these two dynamic organizations – and like-minded Democratic friends and neighbors — when we come back together in person since the COVID social distancing rules have been relaxed for this special co-hosted event.
Hear from local Democratic leaders and our featured speaker, retired petroleum engineer turned environmental activist Bob Paredi to discuss the present and the future of oil drilling in the Gulf: what’s been learned, what’s been done, and what still needs to be done to prevent a devastating accident such as Deepwater Horizon from ever happening again.
A student of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, Paredi received his engineering degree from UCBerkeley and spent much of his career among the oil derricks of Venezuela. He traveled the world on behalf of his employer, EXXON-Mobil, but then became an outspoken activist and author, studying lobbying and policy priorities of the oil and gas industries.
Reservations and entrée selection must be made no later than Tuesday, August 3. All reservations must be made through the online form. Please let us know if you are a member of the Club or Caucus.
