BERNARD HOPE TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND FUNDS
What do
you see as the future of the San Bernard River?
Friends Of the River San Bernard (F.O.R. San
Bernard) see it as a legacy to future
generations. The San Bernard River affects all
communities west of the Brazos and many other
people throughout the county and state - who
have enjoyed fishing, skiing or just a scenic
sunset glistening on the water. F.O.R. Is
working hard to restore, protect and promote
this natural habitat, but it takes money. That
being said, all friends of the river need to do
their part in helping the river and its
community. So, F.O.R. Is raising public
awareness and funds at the second annual
River Raiser, on Sunday, October 28, 2007 at
the Knights of Columbus Hall located at 20632 N.
Highway 36 in Brazoria from noon to 3 p.m.
F.O.R.
Is expanding our activities for the community
and the river, like water quality testing,
education and raising awareness of the impacts
of the up-river flood studies and development to
the San Bernard water shed in Brazoria County as
we remain vigilant in our current efforts to
open the river mouth, and conduct clean-ups,
parades and public meetings. Funds need to be
secured to keep the wheels of progress rolling
forward. So, this event is planned with the
whole family in mind- there will be something
for everyone. There will be a roast beef dinner
with all the trimmings, live entertainment by
Ronnie Coleman, and several free children's
activities such as a Moonwalk, face painting,
and a clown. And for those of us who remember
when, James Drury (The Virginian of TV fame)
will be onsite signing autographs for a donation
to F.O.R. And if all this fun is not enough, we
will have a silent and live auction.
The
dinner will consist of roast beef, salad,
carrots, potatoes, beans, iced tea (or soft
drinks) and home made cakes, all for just a
$10.00 donation. Children under 10 eat free. If
you don't already have your ticket, you can get
one at the door, or contact Marilyn Shockley at
979-482-0368, any board member and they'll
ensure you don't go hungry!
Once
dinner has been served, the live auction
the live auction featuring
auctioneer, Jarrod Smith,
and
the real fun begins. A full (and updated) list
