A Night for Sunny M
On Saturday, May 6th, Arrowleaf Bistro, East 20 Pizza, Twisp River Tap House, 1908 BBQ & Bourbon, and all three Old Schoolhouse Brewery locations in Twisp, Winthrop, and Mazama will provide information at your table about the Sunny M Ranch project.
There won't be an official presentation or donation request. It's simply an opportunity for you to read information about a conservation opportunity on 1200 acres of land near the Town of Winthrop--land that is widely used and loved by the community, land that supports wildlife, farming, and recreation. You could even watch our 6-minute campaign video over appetizers.
Big thanks to our local business sponsor restaurants for helping us share the story of the Campaign for Sunny M Ranch. Collaborations like this are one of the many ways that businesses and non-profit organizations support each other for community benefit.
Interested in learning more about Imagine the Methow: the Campaign for Sunny M Ranch? Join us at one of our upcoming community information sessions. We'll present the project, answer your questions, and listen to your memories of and hopes for this beautiful piece of land. All community information sessions are free and open to the public.
