Creating and Protecting
THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER PARKWAY

The 2010 party season kicks off on Thursday, March 18, 2010 at the Clovis Veterans Memorial District Building. Doors open at 5:30pm. Reservations will be accepted beginning in early February 2010.

Welcome to Parties 2010…

A party: any group of persons acting together for the purposes of: 1) assembling for amusement or recreation, 2) meeting socially to accomplish a task or a mission.

What a perfect description of Parties for the Parkway 2010! People coming together for fun and recreation at any one of our fabulous parties, and, to top it all off, their participation in Parties for the Parkway is accomplishing our essential task of creating and protecting the 22- mile San Joaquin River Parkway. When you register for a party, you make it possible for us to protect land, for children to experience the wonders of nature, and for everyone to have access to a healthy lifestyle.

This year, our 18th, we’re offering 71 tantalizing parties for you to select from. Some of them will enchant you and others will enlighten you. From small elegant dinners to paddling downriver with salmon, all the parties hold the promise of good times and friendly people.

Thank you to everyone who makes Parties for the Parkway a fundraising success.

George Folsom, Board President
Coke Hallowell, Chairman of the Board
Larry Balakian, Parties Chair
Dave Koehler, Executive Director

HOW PARTIES FOR THE PARKWAY WORKS

Our Parties for the Parkway 2010 book contains 71 parties. Reservations for parties begin at the Kickoff Party on Thursday, March 18, 2010 at the Clovis Veterans Memorial District Building.

Remember - River Parkway Trust members receive reduced pricing. If you are not a member and would like to take advantage of this discount, you may become a member and reserve your parties at the same time.

After the March 18th Kickoff event reservations are available at www.riverparkway.org. Reservations will also be accepted by mail. You can call our dedicated Parties for the Parkway "party line," 559-248-8476 to make reservations or to request additional information regarding parties. Many of the parties are limited in number of reservations that can be taken; to avoid disappointment, make your reservations early. If the party you have selected is full, you may be placed on the waiting list, or you may select another party.

This year we'd like to ask that you include the full name and phone number of each person for whom you are making and paying for a reservation to insure accurate lists for our hosts.

Reservations are accepted and filled in the order payment is received. You will receive an email confirmation upon our receipt of payment. Specific directions and information will be mailed to you approximately 10 days prior to your party.

In the event you need to cancel your reservation, refunds can ONLY be offered if a cancellation is made at least 30 days prior to your party date. Your prompt cancellation may allow another person on the waiting list to attend; your courtesy is appreciated.

Thank you for supporting Parties for the Parkway. Your generosity helps us to continue “Creating and Protecting the San Joaquin River Parkway for Everyone.” We want this to be a fun and memorable experience for you and we will be glad to assist you with any needs or questions you may have.
