Lake Huron Sinkholes A Window on the Past and Future

Lake Huron’s depths hide a colorful, ancient world that holds keys to the planet’s history and clues for new drugs, cancer treatments and antibiotics. Lake Huron sinkholes were discovered in 2001 by Steve Ruberg and shipwreck hunters in the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. In an inland fresh-water sea, the sinkholes have conditions as harsh and harbor microorganisms as unusual as Antarctica’s permanently frozen lakes and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Teams of scientists have been studying this unique ecosystem. What have they found? Join us for Steve’s presentation.

Steve Ruberg is an engineer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory and a project leader for the sinkhole research.

Join SSLL on our two-day motor-coach trip to Stratford on the Avon, Ontario

❖ Billy Elliot the Musical Dreams don’t come easy in the hardscrabble mining town, driven by a bitter national strike, where eleven-year-old Billy lives with his bereaved family. But Billy’s discovery of his talent for dance awakens in him a passion that will transform his life and win the hearts of his

whole community. With its inspirational story, breathtaking dance numbers and music by pop legend Elton John, this award-winning show will appeal to all.

❖ Little Shop of Horrors Skid Row florist’s clerk Seymour Krelborn is too shy to declare his love for his co-worker Audrey – until a mysterious exotic plant brings him unexpected fame and fortune. There’s just one problem: the plant has ambitions of its own, and it thrives on only one food – human

blood. Awesome special effects, a tender love story and a fabulous sixties-style score all combine to make this deliciously campy sci-fi spoof a “monster” hit.

❖ Henry VIII Church and state collide when England’s king defies papal authority by seeking to divorce his wife, Katherine of Aragon. The consequences will be epochal for the country – and calamitous for the king’s adviser, Cardinal Wolsey, who has been playing a dangerous game of his own.

Passion, political intrigue and personal faith drive the action as Shakespeare brings vividly to life the thrilling human drama behind a pivotal moment in history.

Our Trip Includes: ❖ Premium seating at the three shows ❖ Double-occupancy lodging at the Festival Inn Hotel ❖ Group Lunch Buffet on Thursday ❖ Deluxe Buffet dinner on Thursday evening ❖ Breakfast Friday ❖ Deluxe motor coach transportation from Tawas City Wal-

Mart. *You will need either an “enhanced driver’s license” or

passport to cross the US/Canada border.
