The San Gorgonio Chapter of the Sierra Club will hold its monthly meeting on Jan. 7 at the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands at 7:30 p.m. This month’s program is a slide presentation by Mike and Jan Millspaugh titled: “New Zealand Travels." The Millspaughs visited Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown and several nearby sights during their 12-day adventure. Auckland is a modern city of four million people. The city of Rotorua is a fascinating place of Maori culture, geysers, hot springs and boiling mud pots. It is the center of one of the world’s most lively fields of geothermal activity. Queenstown on the South Island is a four season lake and alpine resort town. Called the adventure capital of the southern hemisphere, it is the place where bungee jumping was invented and features jet boat trips and other exhilarating outdoor activities. It was late winter (in the southern hemisphere) when the Millspaughs visited this vibrant ski town. Mike is a retired special education teacher who taught at Moreno Valley High School. Jan, who is also retired, worked as a clinical therapist with the San Bernardino County Department of Mental Health. They enjoy traveling and in recent years have traveled to over 25 cities on five continents. All are welcome to attend the meeting. Parking and admission are free but donations are accepted for room rental. The San Bernardino County Museum is located at 2024 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands. The San Gorgonio Chapter of the Sierra Club covers the geographic area of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
