2011 Annual Member Celebration

We ended UCR’s 2011 event season on an inspiring note with our annual Member Celebration on Dec. 4 at Roswell River Landing — a perfect riverside venue for boat rides, standup paddle board demonstrations, and rain barrel painting for kids.

Special guest speaker Donna Lisenby (right) of Upper Watauga Riverkeeper rallied the crowd with an important message about the connection between environmental advocacy and the creation of thousands of jobs needed to upgrade water and sewer systems, among other opportunities. (Watch her speech here.) We also took the opportunity to honor volunteers Pegi Amend, Bob Atkinson, Bill Hayn, Richard Jacobson and Mike Meyer, and christened our new boat. (Watch the video here.)

Guests enjoyed beer from SweetWater Brewery and appetizers from Parsley's Catering, with music provided by Big Daddy DJ Service. Check out photos on our Facebook fan page!
