Fresno Famous

The Met is hosting author Thomas Friedman for a lecture at the Warnors Theatre on June 25, 2009 at 5:30pm as a special fundraising event for the Met Museum. Proceeds from the lecture are designated for the continued presentation of world-class science exhibitions and programs. From 3pm - 5pm, prior to the lecture, head over to KJWL Studios for the Friedman book signing.

We are proud to bring Thomas Friedman, a New York Times columnist and three time Pulitzer Prize winner, to Fresno. His new book, "Hot, Flat and Crowded" discusses global warming, the stunning rise of middle class all over the world and how rapid population growth has converged in a way that could make our planet dangerously unstable.

This lecture will coincide with the Met's Energy Day event on June 25 and the hands-on Bob the Builder™ -Project: Build It! exhibition, predicted to be this summer's top family educational entertainment opportunity in Fresno.

Cost: $40 for general adult, $30 for museum members (limit 2). Call or e-mail Amanda Allen at (559) 441-1444 ext. 213 for tickets today!
