CRWC, Six Rivers hosting night of fun, food, friends

 The Clinton River Watershed Council (CRWC) and Six Rivers Regional Land Conservancy will be hosting a Land and Water Preservation Celebration and Open House next month.

From 6 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 13 at Goldner Walsh Garden and Home Nursery in Pontiac, people are welcome to gather for a night of fun, food and friends.

The event is to celebrate the successes of the two organizations over the last year, as well as to recognize the CRWC for four decades of service to the communities it serves.

The main speaker will be Bill Rustem, who serves as Gov. Rick Snyder’s director of strategic policy. He will be giving a talk entitled “Evolution and Status Conservation in Michigan.”

Local beer will be available from the Rochester Mills Brewery, and there will also be wine tasting and local food.

The event will also include award presentations, a bucket raffle, and a give-back auction.

There is no fee to attend this event.

Proceeds from fund-raising activities will go toward supporting efforts to preserve the land, natural resources, and water quality throughout the region.
