Tickets to our 40th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Auction are on sale now as WaterWatch of Oregon members, supporters, family, friends, and colleagues are cordially invited to our annual gala and auction event Saturday, Nov. 1st, in the biggest river party event of the year!
To help celebrate our 40th anniversary, we’ve changed venues and are moving indoors to Castaway Portland at 1900 NW 18th Ave., located just a few blocks west of the Willamette River. As always, we’ll have hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and dinner — along with a few surprises. Silent auction bidding will begin promptly at 5 p.m. when doors open, so be sure to arrive early so you don’t miss a moment of bidding opportunities.
We look forward to seeing you with WaterWatch’s diverse community of anglers, birders, boaters, conservationists, and river fanatics from around the state to celebrate our first four decades, and another year of victories for Oregon’s rivers. And while we’re at it, bid in our live and silent auctions for packages featuring outdoor adventures and getaways across Oregon and around the world, guided fly fishing trips, tackle, local artwork, and much more.
Secure your seat or table now, and don’t wait: tickets are available at $150 per ticket. Discounted tickets of $50 are available for students and active military members.
Live and silent auction packages continue to be added at our auction page, and will continue to featured in emails, upcoming editions of Currents, at WaterWatch.org, and at our 40th Anniversary Celebration event page. For information on auction sponsorship opportunities contact WaterWatch development director Jesse Robbins at jesse@waterwatch.org or (503) 295-4039, ext. 111.
We’ll see you Saturday, Nov. 1st!
