Reservations for RdP Movie

Originally, I'd asked for everyone to RSVP to me by today so I can
reserve
seats for you. I am going to send in numbers this afternoon so the
can hold
the seats. If you've sent something to me already, please do not send
again. I have counted you. However, I will still count people
through this
evening.

The date is November 12, 7:30pm at the Tivoli Theater in the Loop.

This event is sponsored by HEC and is free. Anyone may show up to the
event
without a reservation. Boyd is just being nice enough to reserve
seats for
those people who helped along the way as the film was being made. RK
Families are on the list.

If you're interested in a second showing, or cannot make it to this
one, we
will be arranging a showing at New City School later on. The date is
yet to
be set, but Boyd (the film-maker) has agreed to sharing the film and his
time.

RSVP for "A Sewer Runs Through It"

FYI - From the email below, I gather there's a chance there may not be
a seat for you if you don't reserve one...I will reserve seats with
Boyd for anyone who emails me before next Friday, October 30. After
that, you can still show up, but there's no guarantee that there will
be a seat for you.

If you would like to attend, simply reply to this email telling me how
many seats you will need. I'll total things up by next Friday and let
Boyd know.

Reminder, this is for the Premiere of "A Sewer Runs Through It" on
Wednesday, November 12, 7:30pm.

This is a free event and open to the public, so friends are welcome.
Tell/Bring anyone you'd like!

Hello All,

For those of you on this list who plan on attending, I would like to
be able to hold seats for you so that no matter how many people show
up, you can have a spot. If you could please let me know how many of
you plan to attend, I would greatly appreciate it. I greatly
appreciate all of your support and want to make sure that there is a
spot open for you.

Thanks again,

Boyd

Invite!

Attached is an invite to the opening of the new River des Peres
documentary, "A Sewer Runs Through It." John Goodman did the
voiceover! Very cool topic!
AND River Kids are in this film somewhere! I haven't seen it of
course, so I don't know where or for how long...but it should be a
hoot to see us up there on the big screen.
Try to be there if you can...we should fill that theater!

[RdPWC] Stream Clean-Up November 8th!

Hello All,

I'm forwarding some info (see below) on a big River des Peres Watershed Coalition event November 8.  There's a flyer attached as well if you have a place to hang one.

However, there are some things going on this weekend as well...if you're able and willing.  There is a prairie grass planting along the Riverfront Trail being operated by the Grace Hill Americorps Rangers.  The details are on the events page at Confluence Greenway's site: http://www.confluencegreenway.org/m-events.php   This site has TONS of good events in and around the Confluence of the MO and MISS Rivers.

There's even information on that haunted maze I mentioned before...it's in Godfrey, IL...it's $6 for adults and $4 for kids.  This is the LAST weekend it will be open for the season.
