Dirty Martinis For Clean Water

If you're like me and want your martinis dirty and your water clean, The Spokane Riverkeeper has something just for you.

This Friday from 6-10pm at the Falls Room in the Masonic Center, come check out the fourth annual “Dirty Martinis for Clean Water.” Always one of the best environmental fundraisers, you’ll meet the people who work hard at protecting our beloved Spokane River.

This year's event is slightly different. They've moved to the Masonic Center's Falls Room overlooking the Spokane River Gorge from downtown, providing a beautiful backdrop. Ferrante's Marketplace Cafe is bringing their delicious Italian fare. They'll have a live and silent auction with prizes. Oh and there will be live music with local favorites Mon Cheri. One thing remains the same though: Dry Fly's award-winning spirits.

According to the Riverkeeper: "Each ticket entitles the bearer to martinis, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages, appetizers and an ethereal out of body experience in which truth and justice envelop you, and those around you, and you can vividly envision what it will be like when Chinook salmon return to the Spokane Falls. Okay, we embellished that last part, a little, but it should be fun." Ha. But this is a wonderful opportunity to support the Spokane Riverkeeper program and the Center For Justice, which is imperative to our quality of life.

Get your ticket HERE and I'll see you on Friday. There will be dancing.
