Sales to Benefit Falkirk Cultural Center and Seacology
Seacology is pleased to announce the inaugural Marin's Glorious Glass
Pumpkin Harvest, to be held Saturday and Sunday, October 27 & 28.
Over 1,000 irresistible glass pumpkins hand crafted by artists from as
far away as Ashland, Oregon will be displayed for sale on the stately
grounds of historic Falkirk Mansion. This is a free event and proceeds
from the sale of the pumpkins will benefit both Seacology and the
Falkirk Cultural Center.
The Marin Glorious Glass Pumpkin Harvest will be a casual yet upscale
event leading into Halloween, and is appropriate for families. This
amazing assortment of one-of-a-kind glass pumpkins will include designs
of all shapes, sizes and colors. Each is a unique work of art that
requires at least two artists to complete. There will also be live
on-site glass blowing demonstrations (weather permitting) and
refreshments for sale. Each pumpkin will be priced for sale ranging
from $35 to over $250.

| Mr. Kokichi Kariya |
On Wednesday, October 3, Seacology will be celebrating the
accomplishments of the 2007 Seacology Prize recipient, Kokichi Kariya
of Fuzawa, Japan. The Seacology Prize is awarded annually to an
indigenous islander for exceptional achievement in preserving the
environment and culture of any of the world's 100,000-plus islands.
To honor this heroic gentleman, Seacology is hosting a special awards ceremony at the St. Francis Yacht Club on San Francisco Bay. Mr. Kariya has spent 42 years in a tireless struggle to save one of the few remaining ancient forests on Honshu Island, Japan. At great personal sacrifice he has challenged aggressive logging companies as well as local, regional and national governments to protect the virgin beech trees of Fuzawa, Japan.
