This year Annual Meeting is coming to YOU. Join us online!

What have you helped accomplish for your rivers? What’s in store for the future of your rivers and for CRC?

Join us for a short, sweet and LIVELY online forum to share our collective visions for our rivers:

  • WELCOME – CRC Director, Andrew Fisk, speaks about envisioning the future of our rivers.
  • RIVER RELAY – a visual peek into the work of CRC and all that YOU have helped make possible.
  • VOLUNTEER SHOUT-OUT – we couldn’t do any of this without the sweat equity of our tireless volunteers.
  • BUD FOSTER AWARD – This year we honor our rivers’ frontline workers (shh, it’s a surprise – announcement at the meeting!)
  • CRC FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT – your dollars at work for our rivers.

We welcome you, CRC members, partners, and fellow river-friends to join us to celebrate the nationally-recognized Connecticut River and those who help protect it.

Bring your own snacks!
