Dear Friends Of The Environment,
In March, two local environmental advocates spotted an item in the Ravena News Herald about a CAPITAL REGION INDEPENDENT MEDIA contest looking to crown the top 5 “community change-makers” from Southern Albany & Northern Green County — the areas they serve with their 5 local papers.
You can read about THE TOP 5IVE award here: https://theupstater.com/top-5-event/
Advocates immediately thought of CAC Chair, Barbara Heinzen and all she does to inform, protect, and enhance the community and its natural surroundings – and got down to submitting!
Drum roll please…
Barbara won!
We’re so proud of her!!
The announcement will be published in the Columbia Paper, Greenville Pioneer, the Ravena News Harold, and the Upstater’s newest acquisition, a paper in Cobleskill (not sure of the name), as well as on their social media pages.
BUT — even better(!!) — there’s going to be a gala dinner at the Wire Event Center, the super snazzy venue next to the Newbury boutique hotel in Coxsackie, where the awards will be presented.
Let’s rally our environmental advocates, show our support, and celebrate Barbara’s win together!
DATE: Friday, May 23, 2025
TIME: 6p-9p
PLACE: The Wire Event Center
COST: $75 / Ticket
Reserve: https://thetop5ive.ticketmambo.com/index.cfm?e=event&eventId=36402
It ain’t cheap but, I bet we will have a great time!
