Advertisement “Hello Everyone! We have an exciting new fundraiser coming up that

is being planned and coordinated by one of our young volunteers. Kayloni volunteered with us last summer and is currently a senior at Rio Americano High School. Kayloni is in the Civitas leadership/college prep program, and as part of her community service project is planning and presenting an awesome dinner event to support the Effie Yeaw Nature Center and its programs. She has arranged all the food, entertainment, volunteers, and decorations for this and it is going to be a lot of fun!

There will be live guitar music and raffle tickets for dinner out and other prizes. The Nature Center Staff will bring out some of our resident animals for you to see up close.

do call soon because seating is limited. Because Kayloni has been able to find donations for everything, all proceeds will go to the Effie Yeaw Nature Center !

I am very excited about this event—I believe it will be fun for everyone! If you would like to come, call the front desk here at the Effie Yeaw Nature Center (489-4918) and make your reservations.

Thank you!Jamie WashingtonVolunteer CoordinatorEffie Yeaw Nature Center”
