‘The Bridge,’ Trustee Associates Activities

 

A new AAPG Foundation fund has been established in support of a full-length documentary that is being made to help alert and inform the world of future trends in energy use and production.

The AAPG Foundation has established a new fund to help meet the film’s production costs.

“The Bridge: Our Fossil Path to Alternative Energy” is a production that is being shot at locations around the world, featuring AAPG President and Trustee Associate Scott Tinker.

The Foundation’s “Bridge Fund” also will support a Web site on the same subject.

Contributions to the “Bridge Fund” – or any AAPG Foundation fund – are tax-deductible as specified under U.S. tax laws.

For more information about the funds or to make a contribution contact Foundation Manager Rebecca Griffin at (918) 560-2644, or go online to the Foundation Web site.

They bring the Trustee Associates membership to 268.
