Dear
Friends of Amon Community Preserve and Tapteal Greenway,
This is the last call
for donations for the TGA October 13 Silent Auction.
Donated items have been
slow to accumulate this year. We need more contributions of interesting,
upscale services or items (no junk, please) to make our fundraiser a success.
How about tickets to upcoming events? Perhaps some recreational equipment? Maybe
a holiday-related (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) item to help us earn some
much-needed funds? Possibly gift certificates to your favorite restaurant or
other merchants?
These donations are
tax-deductible, so everyone benefits. Please ask your favorite business to
donate, too—we will gladly provide letters with our non-profit tax ID number
when you ask us.
And of course, mark your
calendar and join us for Tapteal Greenway Association's annual Celebration on
Saturday, October 13 starting at 6:30 p.m. at beautiful Kiona Vineyards
Winery (http://www.kionawine.com/)
in Benton
City. Tapteal Greenway will provide free award–winning wines, soft drinks,
appetizers, and desserts. You do NOT need to be a member of Tapteal Greenway to
attend, though of course we hope you’ll consider joining TGA. This year we are
asking that you bring someone new to the event.
Come have some fun
relaxing in a beautiful setting. Learn about Tapteal’s progress in recreation,
conservation, and conservation efforts along the Lower Yakima River. Also help
us honor the Tri-City Conservationists of the Year for 2012.
