You are invited to Fayetteville’s Town Center event site on OCTOBER 23, 2015 for an evening “Celebrating the Buffalo”, America’s first national river!

The Coalition (Buffalo River Watershed Alliance, Ozark Society, Arkansas Canoe Club and the National Parks Conservation Association) is actively planning a fundraiser to support our educational efforts, legal expenses and other projects to protect the Buffalo River from pollution caused by factory-size concentrated animal feeding operations.

Celebrate the Buffalo! Invitation and Information

Ken Smith will be honored and will be present to sign his books.  The festive, memorable evening will include a sit-down banquet dinner, live music, a silent auction; books, t-shirts and photos for sale;  a video room in which one can record a message about the Buffalo and what it means to you.  The banquet itself will begin in the Town Center Ballroom at 6:00 pm.  The dinner program will conclude at 9:00 pm, but music and socializing will continue until 11:00 pm for those who wish to remain longer.

Tables for 8 sell for $1000 (think $125 per person). Public sales for individual seats at tables for 10 are $100. IT IS A FUNDRAISER FOR THE BUFFALO RIVER,  and we know you care. Invite friends to share a table with you on a beautiful fall weekend.  To order tickets, please see the website http://www.celebratethebuffalo.com.

There are OS members who would like to share a table for the Celebrate the Buffalo Fundraiser but do not know who else is going.  If you are going and would like to share a table, please contact Alice Andrews or Alan Nye so that they can help you get together with friends.

Also, there is a need for volunteers to help the night of October 23rd.
1.  Volunteers will be provided a fine dinner from one of the locally-sourced foods restaurants in Fayetteville.
2.  Beloved volunteers, you will contribute hugely to the success of the event.
3.  No ticket needed for volunteers! 

Please contact Alice or Alan as soon as possible:  Alan Nye 501-258-7137, osacnye@gmail.com;  or Alice Andrews 501-219-4295  alice209ok@yahoo.com
