As part of activities supplementing the reading of this year’s community book-in-common, Dave Eggers’ “Zeitoun,” Butte College is organizing a local Levee Walk on Saturday, February 11th.
“Come tour the local levee and talk with experts in biology, the Sacramento River Preservation Trust, and flood control engineering,” said event coordinator Suzanne Gripenstraw.
The walk, which will take place from 1-3 p.m., will be led by Butte College biology professor Mike Williams.
“People interested in participating in this informative walk should meet to car pool at the Chico Park-n-Ride (east side of Hwys 99 and 32) at 12:45 p.m.,” noted Gripenstraw.
“Zeitoun,” by Dave Eggers, tells the story of the Zeitoun family and their experiences following the levee breaks in New Orleans.
For more information on the walk contact Williams at 895-2252 (williamsmi@butte.edu) or Gripenstraw at 879-6136 (GripenstrawSu@butte.edu).
