To the Editor:

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the EPIC’s 11th Annual Pisces Party at Beginnings. We are honored and humbled by the number of EPIC community members who reunited at the annual fundraiser to honor Pisces activists from Humboldt County and to support EPIC adviser and mentor Richard Gienger in his ongoing work to restore the forests and watersheds.

The entire board and staff of EPIC would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all of the people and businesses that contributed to this incredibly successful event. A special thank-you to Casey Neill and the Norway Rats, Jan Bramlett, Russ Cole, and Sue Maloney; and to all of the volunteers, Tashina Welliver, Yarrow, Comphy, Matthew Dicks, Rob Fishman, Ollie Weber, Eres, Leo Power, Roger, Tanya, Donna Blair, and Sheila. Thank you to all of the businesses including Bergin-Siplia Wines, Mad River Brewery, Chautauqua Natural Foods, and many more.
