When: Monday, February 2, 2015 6-9 pm
Where: California Building in Idlewild Park
Admission: Free
Join TMPF to learn about and celebrate the value of snowfall in northern Nevada at our Let it Snow! Community Get-Together. This fun-filled evening will start out with an informative presentation by Dr. Adrian Harpold, UNR Assistant Professor in the Nevada Mountain Ecohydrology Lab. Dr. Harpold will discuss the important relationship between snowfall in the Sierra Nevada and our local park ecosystems. Following the presentation, we will be screening the environmentally conscious snowboard film, The Little Things.
The night will also include a raffle full of ski-related prizes, great snacks, and awesome beers crafted especially for this event by Reno's newest local brewery, IMBĪB Custom Brews. TMPF members receive free drink and raffle tickets, so make sure you join today!

Virginia Lake Dog Park Fund-Raiser
When: Saturday, February 14th, 2015 4:30-6:30 pm
Where: Swill Coffee and Wine (Moana West Shopping Center, 3366 Lakeside Court)
The Virginia Lake Dog Park Restoration Association is a group of citizens that have come together with TMPF to improve one of only two dog parks operated by the City of Reno. So far we have raised nearly $50,000.00 in cash and contributions by local businesses, but that is just the beginning. On Valentine's Day, Swill Coffee and Wine will be hosting a fundraiser to help us move into Phase II of the project. More details to follow, but mark your calendar and help us revitalize this essential public space. Learn more about the project here.
