Sierra Club Santa Margarita Group to celebrate birthday

TEMECULA – The Sierra Club Santa Margarita Group will celebrate its 10th birthday Thursday, Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. at the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library, 30600 Pauba Road.

Ten years ago, a group of concerned citizens got together to fight against a proposed gravel quarry. That group, SOS-Hills, decided that it needed to bring the Sierra Club to southwest Riverside County and that is how the Santa Margarita Group of the Sierra Club was founded.

Founding members will be introduced and share their stories at the birthday celebration, which, of course, will feature a special birthday cake.
