CFI Summer Fundraiser

Hi Folks!


CFI is going to have a Fundraiser! Come join us on July 11th, 2009 between Noon and 6:00 at the Shady Grove Meadery near Lake City, TN (about 20 minutes North of Knoxville) for an afternoon of music, food and mead. The mead is produced on site and is wonderful stuff! We have some fantastic music already lined up.......The Hackensaw Boys, Jay Clark, the Livvid Privies and more to be announced soon!


The Meadery is a beautiful place adjacent to Norris Dam State Park. The music will take place on their front porch. There's a nice green lawn in front, so bring your lawn chair or blanket!


Proceeds from the event will go to help offset facility improvement costs to enable us to better care for our imperiled fishes!


A suggested minimum donation for this event is $10. We have means of accepting on-line donations and there are a variety of donation levels to choose from, some of which include premiums!


Please visit our website for much more information about the performers, the venue (including directions) etc.: http://www.conservationfisheries.org/


I'll follow this up with another Newsletter very soon with any additions. Performance times and other activities will be detailed. We will also be listing our sponsors and those that have generously donated time, money, auction items (oh yes, did I mention an auction?), and musical talents! If you or your business would be willing to help sponsor this event, please get in contact with us through the CFI website.


Thanks and hope to see you in July!


Best wishes!
