If you need a serenity break from the constant activity of summer in Aspen, we suggest attending An Evening on the Lake, a fundraising event for the Aspen Center of Environmental Studies' environmental science educational programming. Keynote speaker and 2016 honoree Dr. M. Sanjayan will headline the benefit at the Hallam Lake campus of ACES on Thursday, July 14 at . Dr. Sanjayan is a global conservation scientist, writer, and Emmy-nominated news contributor specializing in the role of conservation in saving people and nature. This promises to be an elegant evening highlighted by cocktails, live music, a gourmet dinner presented by renowned chef Mark Fischer featuring Rock Bottom Rank products, dessert and special offerings.
