september-2016Dear Supporter:

Trustees is hosting two free events in September in Alaska.

WHEN: Tuesday, September 13th ¦ 5:30-7:30 PM
WHERE: Venue, 514 Second Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99701

We’ll continue celebrating conservation in Alaska at our Anchorage event September 29th at The Red Chair Cafe. Please join our Board and staff for an evening celebrating our wins for Wishbone Hill, Chuitna Citizens Coalition, our continued work to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Bristol Bay and other threatened areas of Alaska.

WHEN: Thursday, September 29th ¦ 5:00-8:30 PM
WHERE: The Red Chair Cafe, 337 E Fourth Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99501

RSVPs for the Anchorage event are appreciated (but not required) by September 22nd. RSVP to loakley@trustees.org or 907.433.2006.
