Thanks to Everyone Who Joined Us at DRA's Annual Gathering and Auction
A huge THANK YOU to all who came out to join us for the DRA's Annual Gathering and Auction on Saturday, February 9! Despite ominous reports, the weather (more or less) cooperated, and we were thrilled to host a full room again this year. New and familiar faces alike joined us at beautiful Montgomery Park. It was truly an honor to see so many supporters in one room, all with an incredible passion for the Deschutes River.We drank outstanding beer provided once again by Freebridge Brewing, and incredible wine from Lange Estate Winery. Attendees bid on an extensive list of live auction items as well as an awesome assortment of silent auction items. We grooved to the soulful sound of the Bridge City Blues Band. And we premiered our latest documentary film A River of Memories, featuring Mike McLucas. The full-length film is now available online, check it out below:[vimeo 317300354 w=640 h=360] Again, we cannot thank you enough for coming out and showing your support. 2019 is proving to be a critical year for the DRA, and your contributions are crucial to the success of our ongoing science and legal endeavors. The funds we raised at the auction will go directly to support our efforts to restore cooler, cleaner water to the lower Deschutes.Check out a few photos from the event:
