Benefit Flyer

Attached you'll find a copy of the flyer you will be seeing all around the halls at NCS.  Please feel free to forward it to anyone you think would like to attend or donate.

As of right now, online ticket sales are up and running, so even those not at NCS all the time will be able to purchase and attend.

We will soon be accepting donations online as well.  If we're going to meet our goal, it's crucial that we get a little help from all in spreading the word.  I'll let you know when online donation is up and running.

Thanks!

River Notes: Cleaning up with the St. Lou Crew - Chapter 1

http://riverrelief.blogspot.com/2009/08/cleaning-up-with-st-lou-crew-chapter-1.html

This was a really nice blog entry about River Kids and the canoe trip with Mike Clark last week...Those MO River Relief folks are fantastic.

Catering the Event

We've worked it out with our caterer to BE his workers for the event.  This will keep our costs down of course, and maybe allow us to own the event even more.

That said, it means work...we'll need a solid team of kids and parents at the event.  The expectation is that the caterer will bring the food and get things set up, but we'll be in charge of the rest.

I'm going to work out the details with the caterer about EXACTLY what we will do and what he will do.

For now, I need a team to take charge of following the eventual plan at the event.  If you'd like to help in this way, please reply and let me know that you are my hero...better yet, a RIVER KIDS hero...and you'll join the catering team.

Thanks!

River Kids Video

The National Mississippi River Museum has asked us for a short video on River Kids to be placed in a video kiosk they are creating about river activists.  We have a script and need a few kids to answer some questions on camera for sound bytes.

We will be meeting at NCS at 10:30 on Saturday to film for an hour.  If you have a River Kid (or former River Kid) who has the time and would like to sit in front of a camera and answer a few questions about River Kids, please reply to this email ASAP.
