Thank you for helping us celebrate the river

FMR supporters placed their silent auction bids.

FMR sends out a huge thank you to everyone who played a role in our annual Evening Celebrating the River on September 25th. Hosts, co-hosts, attendees, members, volunteers, staff, board, silent auction donors, and participants; all of you helped us pull off a great event and net over $13,000 for FMR's work! The balconies of the Boat Club on Raspberry Island were full as attendees enjoyed a balmy evening and watched a gorgeous sunset behind the High Bridge. The food was great, and our speakers -- board chair Peter Gove, Executive Director Whitney Clark, teacher and conservation partner Joe Beattie, and partner Barb Haake -- were passionate about FMR's accomplishments this year. And may we say that watching the hectic bidding toward the end of the silent auction was a blast? Thanks again, everyone, and see you at next year's Evening Celebrating the River!

It was a beautiful night to celebrate the river.
