Monarch enthusiasts,

The long awaited US showing of "The Incredible Journey of the  
Butterflies" will be aired on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 8 pm on  
PBS.  !!!

Lots of info at their site at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/butterflies/

There's a two-minute online segment featuring our butterfly research  
buddies/heroes Drs Chip, Lincoln and Bill. Also included are an online  
interview with film maker, Nick de Pencier, a listing of monarch links  
and books and even a service to get an email reminder of its airing  
date.

Please post this announcement to your local community (after checking  
your local PBS airing time) to school teachers, nature groups, scouts,  
church bulletins, local newspapers, etc.

Also for those missing it, PBS shop will offer the DVD for sale after  
airing, and it will eventually be viewable online for a period.

Consider getting folks together on Tuesday Jan. 27 and having  
community viewings at nature centers, places of worship and work,  
individual homes to watch together. Have discussions afterwards to  
promote Monarch Waystations.  Give out free milkweed seeds and  
waystation brochures.  With so many folks having flat screen  
televisions and surround sound, this can be like a mini-imax experience.

And I thought Tues. Jan 20 would be the only highlight of the  
month...!!!

How else can we generate interest in monarchs and milkweeds during the  
month of January?  Post your ideas here!

Blessings everywhere.  The impact of the individual.

Ina.
Brevard, NC
