Restore Hetch Hetchy is excited to welcome visionary award-winning author Kim Stanley Robinson as the keynote speaker for our 2023 Annual Dinner. His best-selling science-fiction novels are inspired by real-world environmental issues, with landscapes drawing from his lifetime of exploration in the Sierra Nevada. Stan’s latest work, The High Sierra: A Love Story, touches on his extensive backpacking experience in the mountains. In this memoir, Robinson explains, “the flooding of Hetch Hetchy was a knife thrust into the heart of the wilderness movement.”

The Berkeley City Club will serve as the backdrop for this year’s event. Built in 1930 and designed by the first licensed female architect in California, it is a designated historical landmark of the Bay Area.

Live music will be provided throughout the event by Oakland-based singer, songwriter and pianist Libby McClaren. Libby composes original music in a Celtic/Americana style, and has released 6 albums with her partner Robin Flower.

The evening will include a silent auction as well as a raffle to raise funds for our continued efforts towards restoration. The silent auction will be open for bidding online until 4 PM on October 7th. Click the link below to place your advance bids! 

Please join us in gathering for a night of thoughtful discussion and connection. Your support is invaluable, and we hope to see you there. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
