Austin Environmental Directory Launch/Fundraiser & Appreciation for Paul Robbins

November 26 @ 8:30 pm

Basic Info

Date:
November 26, 2024
Time:
8:30 pm

Come join the environmental community as we hold a "ROAST" & fundraiser to honor longtime, award-winning activist Paul Robbins and the recent publication of the 7th Edition of the Environmental Directory.

Since 1977, Paul has been a tireless advocate, activist, and author. From drafting Austin’s first conservation plan, to helping defeat the 1988 incineration project at Hornsby Bend, he is one of the true founders of our city as we know & enjoy it. 

We could go on, but want you to come share good-natured insults, praise, outlandish tall tales, and heartwarming tributes with: Director of Public Citizen Tom ‘Smitty’ Smith, former city council woman Brigid Shea, Executive Director of Texas Campaign for the Environment Robin Schneider, TDS President Bob Gregory, and Roger Duncan of Austin Energy fame.   

Musical guest Bill Oliver will treat your ears, and Barr Mansion will delight your palate with organic food fare. BYOB to this event; because you know what you like!
