Tues., October 24, 2:00, SCBallroom THE OCTOBER CELEBRATION Welcoming members back from Heat Escapes, Vacations, etc. PALAU, THE LAST GARDEN OF EDEN Palau is the second most isolated island chain in the world. Its remote location in the Western South Pacific at the crossroads of the Philippine and Pacific Ocean currents has created thousands of endemic species both above and below the ocean. Hundreds of mushroom shaped limestone islands harbor rare fish, sharks, corals, birds, jellyfish, snails, insects, trees and flowers. Rarely visited and sparsely inhabited, Palau has a fascinating geological, evolutionary, botanical and cultural history. Jim Tobin has sailed and dived through the archipelago several times in the last decade and will discuss his photo presentation of what has been described as the last `Garden of Eden'. Remember the Tuesday program starts at 2:00:
