You are cordially invited to the annual meeting of Friends of the Crooked River this coming Tuesday, June 9 at the (stunning) Himelright Lodge at Summit Metro Park's Cascade Valley Metro Park.

--Bill Zawiski of Ohio EPA on water quality and the navigation channel and

--Ryan Ainger of Cuyahoga Valley National Park on the Cuyahoga River Water Trail, as well as

--updates on various watershed issues and projects, including progress on the removal of the Gorge Dam.

In addition, we'll enjoy the live music of Paul Pira.

Good cheer and food start at 6:00 p.m., program begins at 7:00 pm. Please bring your own table service, and maybe a side or dessert to share. And please RSVP--it'll help us figure out how much pizza to get.
