The "Oil On Ice" party was excellent! We had a good crowd
and a good time! The younger kids learned about different
types of energy and enjoyed the short version of the
documentary that showed the beauty of the Artic National
Wildlife Refuge. We all enjoyed checking out the hybrid
vehicle. And the older group enjoyed the full-length
documentary. Afterwards, those who were inspired to do so
wrote letters or signed the group poster board letter to
our senators asking them to please protect the Artic
National Wildlife Refuge against oil drilling. Thanks to
all who attended.

The Toyota Prius is a hybrid vehicle that uses electricity
and gasoline alternately. |
The crowd checks out the vehicle that gets an average of
45 to 55 miles per gallon. |
The battery recharges every time the brakes are used, so
it never has to be plugged in. |
After the presentation, many people wrote letters or
signed the poster to our senators. |
