Get ready for a night of fun and camaraderie with like-minded folks as we celebrate our achievements and honor the relationships each of us have with each other and to the natural world. We are all interconnected. Healthy forests and sustainable development make for clean water. The built environment has profound effects on the natural environment. Understanding the interconnectedness of our world guides our work and is key to building a better future for the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains. This event is open to current members of MountainTrue. Click here to check your membership status or email members@mountaintrue.org. If you’re not a current member, we would love to have you join us — You don’t want to miss out on the fun!

This year our doors open early for a Plastics Rally beginning at 2 pm, where you’ll learn about ongoing work to fight plastic pollution. The General Assembly snuck an amendment into the budget to protect plastic polluters, but we’re not backing down! Find out how you can get involved. 

General programming will begin at 3 p.m. and will include voting on new Board Members, reflecting on our achievements this year, and honoring outstanding Volunteers. Come snack on some hors d’oeuvres and grab a drink on us! Stick around for our exciting Jeopardy game show featuring one contestant from each of our four regions. The winner will get to designate what MountainTrue work donations collected at the event will fund. 

We’ll also take time to congratulate and recognize our outstanding Regional Volunteer of the Year Award winners: Marta Toran (High Country Region), Michael Cheng (Southern Region), Jonathan Micancin (Western Region), Elizabeth Porter (Central Region), as well as this year’s Esther Cunningham Award winner: Jane Laping.
