Our next meeting will be a fund raiser sponsored by Alachua Conservation Trust for the first annual Gainesville Environmental Film and Arts Festival at the lovely Prairie Creek Lodge (please see Upcoming Events for directions and details). ACT will arrange for hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and provide live music courtesy of the popular local ensemble, Weeds of Eden. There will be a bonfire outside, weather permitting, and ACT will show slides of the beautiful natural resources ACT and our environmental film festival seek to protect. We'll offer a few door prizes and we also plan to screen a short film on Florida's waterways provided by local award-winning film producer Wes Skiles. This will be just a sip of what we plan to offer at the Film Festival, and we hope it will inspire you - and everyone you know - to chip in to help make our Film Festival a success.
We're requesting a minimum donation of $10 to attend the party and partake the refreshments, but we do hope you'll consider making a more substantial donation to the Film Festival. Please bring your checkbooks. And if you know of any sustainable businesses, organizations, or individuals who'd like to support the environmental film festival, please bring them along, too. You can view the film festival brochure with details on sponsorship opportunities under the Film Festival at Featured Links. We've got a poster in the works, and any Major Sponsors who sign up by Jan. 27 will have their logo displayed on this beautiful promotional piece that will be posted across town through the end of March. Please pass this information along to anyone or businesses you think might like to be part of this exciting event.
RSVPs appreciated via email, phone, or forum
