The fundraiser will highlight the accomplishments of this year’s student staff including completion of the College’s first-ever Sustainability Assessment and Greenhouse Gas Inventory, the Focus the Nation event, its youth-powered Earth Week and a new website. The event will feature the popular Albuquerque-based band, Nosotros, with a special appearance by Carute Roma, Durango’s gypsy minstrels. M.E. Schenck of Hyperactive Magazine said it best, “Nosotros’ music is not to be explained; it is to be felt in the pit of our souls.” Doors will open at 9 p.m. with the music starting at 9:30 p.m. Advance tickets are available for sale at the Abbey Theater and at the EC for $10 for students and $12 for the general public. Tickets purchased at the door will cost $15. The event is sponsored by Osprey Packs and Osprey Pro Shops, Inc. in partnership with local Osprey dealers Pine Needle Mountaineering and Backcountry Experience. Funds from the event will support hiring of student staff for the 2008-09 school year so that the Environmental Center can continue its strong tradition of environmental leadership on campus and in the community.
