FMR's Evening Celebrating the River a success again this year!

Every fall, FMR hosts "An Evening Celebrating the River" — a fundraiser to support our river conservation work, and a popular way to get together with other river lovers. This year, on a chilly and rainy October 1st, over 90 guests enjoyed spectacular views of the river, great food and beverages, and excellent company in a beautiful space on the 39th floor of The Carlyle in downtown Minneapolis. Host Karen Sternal and FMR Board Chair Peter Gove kicked off the program, and FMR Executive Director Whitney Clark gave a brief presentation about FMR's water quality and local advocacy achievements in 2009 and highlighted some important upcoming initiatives. Thanks to our generous host, and host committee, attendees, and in-kind support from Jay's Cafe, East Lake Liquors and Summit Brewing Company, the evening raised over $22,000 for FMR's work.
