Please join us this Thursday night at Brooklyn Brewery to help us honor and celebrate the 2010 ioby Heroes In Our Backyards, the folks who have demonstrated time and again their dirt-knuckled commitment to community-based environmental innovation and action.
But they aren't the only people who deserve a pat on the back. ioby wouldn't be where it is today without the tireless support of every single project leader, booster, volunteer and donor. We have an incredible Board of Directors, team of advisors and Committee for Awesome Ideas without whom we would be at a tremendous loss. The fact is that every person reading this right now is a stakeholder in ioby's start and ioby's future and Thursday's party is about bringing everyone together and giving thanks.
We hope you'll join us. Details and ticket info are here.
The ioby 2010 Heroes In Our Backyards are
• Lourdes Hernandez-Cordero and CLIMB, at the Columbia Center for Youth Violence Prevention
• Jared Cole, a science teacher formerly at PS/MS 15 Institute for Environmental Learning, Bronx
