MRP Backyard by the River

.

What’s in a revitalized Mississippi Riverfront for you?  Access to the river via the new Paddle Share program? A cleaner river water body thanks to the population growth of clams?  New concert venues with our dramatic downtown skyline?  The extension of pedestrian and bike trails adjacent to the shoreline of the longest river in the world?  These are but a few of the exciting changes happening at the Mississippi River that runs through the heart of Minneapolis.

.

Please join the Minneapolis Riverfront Partnership for a friendraiser for the Minneapolis Riverfront Partnership, a lead organization in these transformational benefits for all. Join friends backyard at the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization for food and beverage.  Susan Overson from the National Park Service will tell us about the new canoe sharing program on the Mississippi piloted this fall.  Hear about the Red River Oxcart Trail and how transportation shaped the story of the Upper River through the eyes of Jack Driscoll, story teller exceptionale.

.

This event is a great opportunity to share in MRP's success as it will supply funds needed to continue our vitally important work. Donations of any size will be accepted.  May we count on you to join us on October 11th?
