Postcard Invitation front
Please join Regreen Springfield as we celebrate the Spring season and acknowledge the work of our community volunteers and partners, who have helped to regreen the city… one tree at a time.

On Wednesday, May 20, 2015 Regreen Springfield will be holding our first “May ReGreen Springfield Fundraising Gala” at the Barney Carriage House in Springfield’s Forest Park, from 6:00 -8:00 PM. We hope that you will be able to attend, this festive event, which will help support our continued good work in Springfield.

Just because its a ‘gala’ doesn’t mean that you have to make a fuss over your outfit or your attitude.  Business casual is the order for the evening, and a cash bar and great food will help make it a night of fun and friendship. Your attendance and generous support of this event, will help fund our Summer Youth Intern Program and our 2015 Tree Planting initiatives.

The historic Barney Carriage House at Forest Park will serve as a backdrop for this fun filled evening, and the Park will be in full bloom, celebrating the arrival of Spring and our new tree planting season. Come learn about our upcoming plans for this year, meet our Board members and relax and have a great time.  You will be glad you did.

A suggested tax-deductible donation of $25 per person is requested.  Please RSVP by May 19th by visiting www.regreenspringfield.org/gala
