The 11th Hour Flyer
Des Plaines 6th Alderman Mark Walsten, who heads up the City’s
Deep Green Committee has announced that the movie Hoot, originally
part of a movie series scheduled to be hosted this weekend at the
Des Plaines Theater as part of Deep Green Committee’s fundraising
efforts, has been postponed until Friday and Saturday, May 15 and
16, 2009. Hoot will be aired at 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm at the Des
Plaines Theater. The movie plot concerns a young man who moves
from Montana to Florida with his family where he's compelled to
engage in a fight to protect a population of endangered owls.
Tickets to the movie are $5 per person and are available at the door
of the Theater on the evenings of the showings. The movie was
postponed due to the flu scare.
According to Alderman Mark Walsten, who, along with Mary Rohde
and Tim Hardt, comprise the Deep Green Committee, the group decided
to launch the film series as an effort to increase activity downtown
Des Plaines and create awareness as to the functions of the Deep
Green Committee. The Committee is dedicated to helping maintain and
improve the overall environment. (pictured above left to right) Des
