Subject: Details for the Earth Day Hike and Happy Hour event

Greetings Earth Day H&H collaborators!

I hope you are getting excited for next week's event - we are getting some positive news and expect a good showing of participants. It is going to be a great networking event for us locally, and it is going to be a powerful moment to stand together with other Earth Day events around the United States to show support for public lands. 

At this point, your input is needed!

Please read over important information regarding the event, and respond with a confirmation (or questions) for your various roles in the event. (see below)

​

Important details:

• Bring your organizations' newsletter/ brochure / notices to add to a table during the happy hour. 
• Photo/drone opp: Half way through the hike, all smaller groups will converge as one large group to take a few drone photos courtesy of Bouldering Badger Media group- Margaret and Andrew, and some SOU students will be set up along the trail, you won't miss them!
